Composite (Part 2): 610 KFRC San Francisco | May 18, 1982
A long time ago, we posted a large composite of KFRC from May 1982 including a nice segment with Broadway Bill Lee (he didn’t use ‘Broadway’ in San Fran of course). Here’s part 2 of that composite, which features morning funny man Dr. Don Rose (and some very interesting news segments partly included), and Harry…
Fig Newton (Dave Newton) on 1220 WGAR Cleveland | June 27, 1980
Fig Newton… what’s in a name? Plenty, if you’re from northeast Ohio. This is a pretty good morning show, reminiscent of Gary McKee on WQXI Atlanta. But this is Cleveland and WGAR is in it’s last days as a Top 40 station. Indeed, by mid-1980 many of the big and medium AM music stations were…
Fred Winston, 104.3 WJMK Chicago | January 10, 1990
Somewhere below the cellar is Fred Winston’s voice. His on air charm and sense of humor are natural talents. Its Ratings Day and Winston tells Newsman John Priester he brought all three of his listeners from the World’s Largest Stockpile, er, WLS- which he couldn’t mention on Majic 104. Not that THAT would stop anyone…
Bill O’Brien, the Philly “Hot 30 Countdown”, 98.1 WCAU-FM Philadelphia, Part 2 | January 8, 1984
The Philly Top 30 Countdown continues with Bill O’Brien. This segment starts at number 19 and goes down to number 9. Listen for such stiffs as “The Curley Shuffle”, and Matthew Wilde’s “Break My Stride”. Remember hearing those at little bars and clubs that did the first Karaoke nights? The jingles in use here are…
Johnny Driscoll, WCFL Chicago | 1974
Enter John Driscoll (Jock, Consultant & Airchexx Contributor). Talk about HIGH ENERGY! Driscoll easily gives John Records Landecker over at crosstown WLS a run for his money. This is 1974. WCFL was owned by the Chicago Federation of Labor. I always thought it interesting that a labor union could own a radio station. Actually, WCFL…
1979 Northeast Jingle Montage
This is very short but included on a tape contributed by Big Apple Airchecks is this 3 1/2 minute clip of just jingles. This isn’t the best quality, but all were recorded off the air and taken from assorted airchecks. The only two I recognize as not being from the New England area are WGAR…
Willie Mitchell; John McKay – 105.9 WIGY Bath/Brunswick Me | July 1979
How many people knew there was something up in central Maine other than Elk, Moose and Deer? All kidding aside, this is the first aircheck we have of the Brunswick market, and it’s true classic Top 40 all the way! Big Apple Airchecks submitted this long scope of Willie Mitchell and John McKay that appears…
Charlie O, 1110 KRLA Pasadena CA | June 16, 1967
We’re going all the way back to the Summer of 1967 for this clip of KRLA! Known for boosting the careers of such famous deejays as Casey Casem (of “American Top 40” fame), then-future game show host Wink Martindale (WHBQ Memphis), Bill Ballance (KFWB ‘Color Radio 98’) and even Dick Biondi – best known for…
