Chip Hobart, 68 WRKO Boston | Winter, 1972
“…However when (he) hit The airwaves in New England as CHIP Hobart on WRKO, he had Completely transformed himself “overnight”, into this on air “Cool Cat…”
Gary Russel, 970 WWDJ Hackensack NJ | December 1972
97 WWDJ… the little station that could. And DID. For a time, this station did actually compete with Midtown Manhattan for the ears of Top 40 radio listeners. We don’t know the complete background of WWDJ, but we have restored a somewhat muffled aircheck as best as possible so that our visitors may listen to…
Don Reegan, 98.7 WXLO New York | November, 1972
October 23, 1972 may not stand out as anything memorable. Its not a day that lives in infamy. It’s someone’s birthday out there, for sure (Happy birthday, to whomever this concerns!). In our case, it is the date we’ve been searching for. On 10/23/72, RKO General changed the call letters of its New York radio…
QuickChexx: Rick Shaw, 98.7 WOR-FM New York | Winter, 1972
Rick Shaw is possibly best remembered for his days at 610 KFRC San Francisco. It is likely no coincidence that Shaw was on both stations, as KFRC and WOR-FM were co owned by RKO-General. This moves right along, and as short as this clip is, you get a feel for the radio station and for…
QuickChexx: Joe McCoy, 98.7 WOR-FM New York | Winter, 1972
Continuing where the Mark Driscoll aircheck left off, here’s former CBS-FM Programmer Joe McCoy doing his thing on WOR-FM! It’s a snowy Winter day in the Big Apple and Joe’s going to be giving away a top-10 album ‘very soon’ – don’t miss it! Credits Airchexx.com gratefully thanks Contributor Steve Bleecker for donating this high-quality…
Mark Driscoll, 98.7 WOR-FM New York | Winter, 1972
The legacy of New York’s 98.7 continues now with this late edition of WOR-FM featuring the pipes of Mark Driscoll. Listening to this, one might wonder why RKO General felt the need to change call letters. WOR-FM sounds here, much as WXLO sounded a year later, only with different jocks. Listen to the variety! While…
“The Reed Thing”, 1310 WTLB Utica | December 4, 1972
Up now is a wonderfully restored 9 minutes of little 1310 WLTB. Upstate New York, it seems, was a hotbed of radio activity. Good sounding stations, too, as you’ll hear in this recording of what might sound, to one’s untrained ears, a little bit like the George Michael show on WABC. Fooled ya! We don’t…
Phase II – The KRLA Jingles | July 28, 1972
All we have is some brief liner notes on the case of this Maxell UR-60 casette to describe what apparently was actually broadcast on KRLA Pasadena. The actual title is, “Touch Unlimited presents, PHASE II, the most unique station promos in the history of radio”. The credits for this are Bob Todd, Don McGinnis and…
