Tom Kent, 105 WAVA Arlington | March 27, 1984
Here’s one of our favorites – Tom Kent, heard elsewhere here on WLS & G98, serving up some high-energy Top 40, with all the fixin’s! WAVA is in the early stages of CHR here, once having been a big Rock station. We all know what this station preaches today… but way back when (over 20…
Don Geronimo in the Morning on WBBM B96 Chicago | 1984
This next series of airchecks is courtesy of our old friend Matt @ Big Apple Airchecks. Look him up online if you’re willin’ to make a deal, pardner… Here’s DG on the ‘Bee’… and he sounds incredible here. Perhaps it was the processing that lowered his pipes an octive! Geronimo is heard elsewhere here at…
Chuck McKay, CKLW Windsor | February 1975
…”I’d like to say hi to my mother who breast fed me and told me to get into radio…” If you listen to this closely, you’ll notice that Chuck McKay is returning to CKLW after some time at WLS Chicago (his words). But is this any way to return? He acts like he’s leaving again,…

We have one other clip of Gregg Thunder here on airchexx.com which you can listen to, but before you do, listen now to a recording of the end of Gregg Thunder’s show and then the first hour or so, scoped, of course, of Domino, both on MusicRadio, WPLJ “Power 95”! We’ve been amazed at the…

98.5 WROR Boston becomes WBMX Mix 98.5 | 1991
Your webmaster has always wondered why it is that radio companies can’t respect heritage call letters. Well, here’s another set of calls that went away in 1992– at least off the 98.5 frequency. WROR was the FM station to WRKO until RKO General was forced to sell off all it’s radio properties. Before WROR they…
Dick Biondi, WBBM-FM (B96) Chicago | January 1984
Who woulda thought Dick Biondi would still be doing Top 40 some 20+ years after his first gig at WLS? This is Chicago’s BIG CHR B96! Biondi is… well all i can say is it starts out a bit slow, at least for him. Just an opinion, mind you, but considering the various morning shows…
Morning Madness: Jonathan Brandmeier on 97.9 WLUP-FM Chicago | January 1984
And now, what finished off WLS’ personality rock format for good! By 1984, WLUP was THE king of rock stations in Chicago (and by 1986 the grand experiment to turn the rockers into talkers by moving the most popular personalities to AM 1000 WLUP-AM was ON!). Brandmeier is heard here starting his morning show on…
