John Mack Flanagan; Marvelous Mark, 610 KFRC San Francisco | December 28, 1977
Recorded just a few days before the start of 1978, Airchexx Contributor, friend and personality John Mack Flanagan is heard on his afternoon show, followed by Marvelous Mark. This is a very high-energy aircheck and shows the incredible momentum KFRC had, even in the face of FM competition. This is about as good as AM…
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…
NYC/Hudson Valley Composite, 1975-1977
Courtesy of longtime Contributor Alan Fletcher, here’s a composite of AM and FM stations in New York City and the Hudson Valley region. It spans a time period from sometime in 1975 to 1977. There’s so much packed into this 30 or so minutes of assorted audio its difficult to write all of it here,…
Imus in the Morning – 66 WNBC New York | August 25, 1977
The Don Imus people are familiar with on WABC these days really bears no resemblance to a stoned Rock and Roller who went by Imus in the Morning on WNBC in the middle of the Top 40 era at 30 Rock in New York City. Courtesy of our good friend Matt @ Big Apple Airchecks,…

Here’s what the airstaff of 13Q looked like during the station’s golden years. (Courtesy…
Lee Roberts, 98.7 WXLO New York | December 17, 1977
Lee Roberts is showcased here as one of the “X-Men” on the old 99X. Notice the amount of Disco music in rotation here! Perhaps it was not enough, or too much, but less than a year after this aircheck was recorded, 92.3 WKTU would become the number one radio station in New York City, knocking…
Harry Nelson, 98.7 WXLO New York | December, 1977
Active on Facebook (so you can contact him), Nelson has been in radio for a very long time. Much of it was with RKO-General’s chain of radio stations. His resume includes radio stations like WRKO Boston, KFRC San Francisco, WJBQ Portland Maine, WROR Boston, and even a stay at WXLO “99X” New York! As heard…
Chuck Ingersoll, 96.5 WCMF, Rochester, NY | August 22, 1977
New Contributor Chuck Ingersoll describes this first aircheck of 96.5 WCMF Rochester: It was getting near the end for underground album radio, but in 1977, the jocks at WCMF, Rochester still got to select and program their own music and shows. It was loose, it was informal, it was fun, and it made a good…
