Tommy Kramer, KNUS 99 Dallas | June, 1972
Tommy Kramer is all over the web these days, with his own blog, consultant duties, etc. He was a great Top 40 jock as well, as you’ll hear in this ultra-short QuickCheck of McLendon’s KNUS 99. By the time of this aircheck, McLendon had sold his AM, KLIF, and the war to beat his former…
Cat Simon, 1150 KVIL Dallas | October 19, 1979
Most everyone knows the story. Gordon McLendon’s KLIF took Dallas by storm in the 60s and until he sold it in the 70s, no other station could touch it. By the end of the decade, however, there were TWO stations vying for the Top 40 crowd: the station McLendon KEPT, KNUS 99, and 1150 KVIL.…
Jackson Armstrong, 610 KFRC San Francisco | August, 1983
Courtesy of longtime Contributor Joe Tymecki. Posted elsewhere as part of a long KFRC composite, here’s the late Jack Armstrong with all the energy a jock could muster back at at time in KFRC’s history when they were on top of their game as the Bay Area’s leading CHR station. It was said that FM…
‘Marvelous’ Mark, 610 KFRC San Francisco | August 9, 1983
Found! Another 610 CLASSIC KFRC recording! This time, from a ‘lost’ Joe Tymecki CD archive, we look back to late Summer, 1983. The Summer hits are cookin’ on the big 610! All the personality, jingles and hits are intact in this 10 minute scope of one of America’s best ever Top 40 stations. News with…
KCBQ Becomes a “Thing of the Past”, 1170 KCBQ San Diego | February 1976
Is this any way to do a promotion? KCBQ kicks off a format tweak by becoming a ‘Thing of the Past’, apparently in response to KFMB-FM going Top 40 sometime earlier. Ratings are down and KCBQ decides to skew older in response. New Contributor Mike Donovan shares this gem from his collection, saying he’s been…
Bad Billy James, WEEX Easton PA | February-August 1978
… “with a new fall lineup coming soon!” Courtesy Contributor Bill James. Originally posted in February of ’05 in Real Media format, here’s a reloaded, “HD” version of Bill James on 1230 WEEX Easton PA. This is the “Big X”, but on AM!! ‘Bad’ Billy did the night show and, like John ‘Records truly is…
Dan Ingram, WCBS-FM 101.1 New York | September 8, 2002: 1 – 3 PM
…”I guess in Hawaii they believe in sex. I know I do! (laughter) Sent in by Contributor Ray Bozzanca (who gave us more Dan Ingram than probably anybody else), here’s one that’s been awaiting posting here on Airchexx for a couple of years. Dan Ingram is synonymous with Top 40 Radio. In fact, he’s considered…
Suitcase Simpson, WTAE “96 Kicks” Pittsburgh | January 31, 1977
This aircheck is somewhat confusing. The call letters are used at the top of the hour legal ID only. The station sometimes calls itself 96 KX, and other times 96 Kicks. And as if listeners weren’t confused enough, there’s a sweeper midway through using the slogan “Two Letter Radio – KX”. Boy, am I confused!…
