John Records Landecker, 89 WLS Chicago | March, 1988
Courtesy of longtime contributor Robyn Watts, from California Aircheck tape #96, here’s Chicago’s 890 AM WLS. John Records Landecker is the featured jock on a very TALK intensive show that features very little in the way of music, but still playing the contemporary “AM 89 WLS” jingles from Jam Creative Productions. I’m struck by just…
Don Geronimo on 89 WLS Chicago | September, 1982
The Rock of Chicago sure is rockin’ on this aircheck! Here’s Don Geronimo (WPGC, WAVA, WXLO) during a short stint in the Windy City! WLS is still doing the faux-AOR format, and this is right around the time that WLS-FM 95 (94.7) came into the picture in a big way. By 1986, the rock audience…
Joel Sebastian, J.J. Jeffrey (first show) on 89 WLS Chicago | 1971
Almost 18 minutes of pure heaven. Thanks again to Matt @ Big Apple Airchecks, a huge slice of WLS! Included: tons of early 70s commercials and those awesome WLS Jingles! J.J. Jeffrey would go on to station ownership later in his career. WLS would go on to number one status later that year.
Jeff Davis, MusicRadio WLS “AM Stereo 89” Chicago | January 23, 1985
No matter what anyone says about how WLS disintegrated in the mid-80s, this aircheck proves that as 1985 began, WLS was still Chicago’s ENORMOUS 89, and still rocking as hard as ever! Proof? Listen for a rare hair band, Guiffria (does ANYONE remember them besides me?), a power gold cut, Boston’s “Long Time”, and plenty…
Susan Platt, 94-7 WLS-FM Chicago | January, 1985
Courtesy of our good friends over at AircheckDownloads.com, Susan Platt holds down the overnight shift, back when there were live, warm bodies in the studio at Midnight. Here’s one you shouldn’t miss! WLS-FM was the logical continuation of the “Big 89”, and at this point in time, 890 AM was still playing the hits –…
Composite: 89 WLS Chicago | March, 1977
The late 70s. The second heyday of WLS in Chicago. By this time, WLS was the number one station in Chicago, even with FM competitors in the Top 40 format. It’s FM station at 94.7 was WDAI, an Album Rock station that had been around since 1971. WLS AM had been known in the early…
Joel Sebastian, Late Evening Lead-In to Wolfman Jack, 66 WNBC New York City | May, 1985
From the late Gary Blau collection provided by Lee Chambers, this 45 minute aircheck in AM Stereo is sure to please everyone who appreciated the state of Top 40 radio in the mid 1980s! This aircheck has a lot of special things to offer… First off, because of the incredibly high quality audio that this…
Bob Shannon, 101.1 WCBS-FM New York | August, 1990
The late Bob Shannon (Don Bombard) is featured here in another never-posted anywhere before aircheck from PM drive, sometime in August, 1990. Phil Pepe has his picks for this week’s Yankees and Mets players of the week (so, we know it’s not March, as the recording was labelled), and there are other clues as to…
