Alan Polasky, 79 WFUN Miami | 1974
The year appears to be 1974. From contributor Alan Polasky, here’s one of his own airchecks. It’s been preserved very well, sounds just like it came from the studio skimmer machine. At under two minutes long, this sounds really good and is typical of how AM top 40 radio sounded in ’74.
Bill Bailey, Morning Drive on 93.1 WDRQ Detroit | November 27, 1974
Bill Bailey (left, shown at WWDJ Hackensack NJ) is featured on this roughly 30-minute telescoped aircheck of the morning show at 93.1 WDRQ Detroit. This came to us on a 12″ reel of tape from the WDRQ skimmer reel machine. It was donated to Airchexx by his wife, Sandy Bailey after finding us while looking…
Bob Vernon, 1220 WGAR Cleveland | 1974
New Yorkers will remember Bob Vernon, or “Vernon with a V” as he called himself, from his years hosting afternoon drive on 66 WNBC. Every time I listen to one of his airchecks, I’m struck by how “strange” a character he seemed to be. Perhaps it was all schtick. Vernon sounds as if he had…

Station Composite, 96.3 WMYQ Miami | 1974
From the short lived WMYQ Top 40 era, this composite is donated by Russ Oasis for use and archival here on Airchexx. It’s one of the best sounding airchecks in terms of sound quality that we’ve heard – and the jocks are some of the best in the business at that time! Just listen.
Bruce Morrow & Chuck Leonard from 1974: WABC New York Rewound 2007 Hour #12 donated by Contributor/Restorian Rob Frankel
For eight years, from 1999 to 2007, NewsTalk 77 WABC New York took one day out of the year to remember it’s historic music radio format. It was a treat for listeners, and while pre-produced by then Production Director Johnny Donovan (himself a jock during the MusicRadio 77 years), it also gave the talk show…
