Tag: 1977
Composite: 1090 KING Seattle | 1977
Contributor Mike Donovan sent in a package a few years ago that we’re still posting from. Here’s a 5 minute scope of what was evidently a station demo. The file we saved back when we got this included other Seattle-area radio stations which will post on this site shortly. We get to hear three superb…
Steve Bleecker, 1460 WAXC Rochester | Fall, 1977
The WAXC call letters in Rochester NY have been gone for so long they don’t even show up in the FCC’s historical database. Too bad, for a station that sounded this good. We’re in 1977 and Contributor Steve Bleecker sent this in of himself, playing the hits on a cool Autumn day. Listen and be…
Table recording: KMOD Tulsa | September 1, 1977
Thus labelled because our contributor, Scott Carr, recorded this with a mic placed in front of a radio speaker. Actually, Scott explains in his own words… I spent the summer of 1977 out in Tulsa, OK (I’m from Eastern Penna). At the time, I was 23 years old, and thinking about getting into radio. On…
Reaching For The Stars…, er, UFOs – An Announcement: 610 KFRC San Francisco
…”We don’t know if Extra-Terrestrials are real, but according to you, there’s a fifty four percent chance…” From Contributor Antonio Dell’Agio. When we received this aircheck, we were contacted by the contributor who said that the creator of this piece (and legendary programmer) Les Garland wished to donate it to our site. We’re incredibly thankful…
Walt Jackson & Bob Landry “Buffoon of Memphis”, 56 WHBQ Memphis | Summer 1977
Returning a classic into the Archives, here’s the station that launched the careers of Rick Dees, Jack Parnell, and even Elvis Presley. RKO General O/O WHBQ was known as the ‘farm station’ of the RKO chain. Dees had left for Los Angeles the year prior, and the Q is still rockin. Its 1977 and Star…
Alan Beebe on KMJC El Cajon “Magic 91” | Spring 1977
This aircheck comes to us from Alan Beebe via Matt at Big Apple Airchecks. As the story goes, Beebe gave it to Matt a couple of years ago, and Matt is resending it back to Beebe (and us) since he lost everything in his aircheck collection in Hurricane Katrina. Someone else to remember in your…
105.7 WVBF Framingham / Boston (F-105) Fantasy Parade | 1977
Here’s a very interesting aircheck of Fairbanks Communications’ then recently-retooled WVBF as Top 40 “F-105”. The ‘check starts out with some strainge sounding robot promos (for lack of a better word), then moves into Frank Kingston Smith opening the F-105 Fantasy Parade in Framingham… conducted from the station rooftop. Sure sounds like they had a…
“Crazy” Bob McLaine on WIBG Philadelphia | January, 1977
Oops! Here’s another morning maniac almost lost to time. Almost! This is Bob McLaine, known for many years in both Philly and Memphis, as ol’ Bob was a TV personality and the morning guy at WOTO “Oldies 95.7″ before it was blown up by Clear Channel back a few years ago. And… hey Bob! I…
