Composite: WFUN (Miami) Jocks | 1968
Matt’s done it again! Here’s a 25 minute scope of 790 WFUN as heard in the heyday of its popularity in the late 60s. WFUN was in very close competition with Miami then-giant WQAM, a battle which WFUN eventually lost and led to its demise after being sold in 1976 and changing format. Alan Polasky…
QuickCheck: Jack Armstrong, WFUN Miami | October, 1968
Heres’s a very young Jackson Armstrong (with a slightly higher pitched voice) on WFUN, one of the early AM Top 40 stations in Miami. This has all the elements that many personality oriented stations had, reverb, PAMS jingles, and a lot of jock patter. Certainly not the streamlined Drake approach, more like a WABC approach,…
Larry Tremaine, Border Blaster 1090 XERB | 1968
Just making a guess here, this was recorded at night. Lots of fading and at times the skywave signal cancels out the ground wave, but otherwise its a decent, albeit cleaned up recording that came in on cassette. Best guess at the jocks name is Larry Tremaine. Difficult to read the handwriting that was printed…
QuickChexx: Mark Allen, 1540 WPTR Albany | June, 1968
Here’s an early donation from the fabulous Robyn Watts! The recording featured on this tape has seen better times, with a bit of white noise (hiss) present. The night this was recorded, WPTR was subject to fading and a bit of interference from another station at times in the background. Any guesses as to what…
Legacy of KFRC: The Top 40 Years – 1966-1986
Contributor Ron Hummel sent in a wonderful documentary narrated by the great Bobby Ocean which chronicles the Big 610 from its humble beginnings out of the sleepy Don Lee era through the final days as a Top 40 station. While the original disc was inclusive 1966 to 1991, KFRC 610 was only Top 40 until…
Steve Clark, 1400 AM/103.3 FM WKFR “Keener 14” Battle Creek, MI| July 1968
Listening to this I had to do a double take… KEENER FOURTEEN! An apparent WKNR knockoff (or perhaps it was co-owned), WKFR in Battle Creek sounds suspiciously similar to WKNR Detroit, with similar jingles, even a jock that sounds like Steve Robbins, who was on WKNR in ’67! Steve Clark does a great job on…
Taylor and Clark on WKNR Detroit | January 7, 1968
We suspect that Steve Taylor and Gene Clark recorded this show right off the board… in fact, they say that they will record all their shows from now on right at the start of this superb recording. Interestingly enough, they say they will no longer say any words that offend the audience… hmmm, you mean…
