Randy Evans, 790 KJRB Spokane WA | 1977
Randy Evans is offbeat, funny and fast – in fact, this morning show is as good as any we’ve posted on this site. Greg Marshack is the newsman (listen closely just after the 8 minute mark or you’ll miss Evans mentioning his name). Other voices include Gary Daniels and Marie McAllister. This whole show runs…
Gerry Peterson & Mason Dixon, 1170 KCBQ San Diego | September 24, 1977
Courtesy of BigAppleAirchecks. Nearly perfect audio quality on this one. On this aircheck, you’ll hear Gerry Peterson, then Mason Dixon on a very music-intensive KCBQ. Now, KCBQ and KGB had always been the Top 40 leaders in this city, but obviously, KCBQ was feeling some heat from FM. We get to hear TWO jingles in…
Greg Brown, 95 1/2 WMET Chicago | March 20, 1977
Here’s a long scope of Greg Brown on the old WMET Chicago. Original jingle package, classic mid-70s Chicago commercials and the cool sound of Greg Brown. At this point in the history of 95.5, WMET had been on the air with those call letters for just under 5 months (check out the call letter change…
Rockin’ Ron Kay & Soupy Sales, 590 KFXM San Bernardino, CA | December, 1977
From brand new Contributor Keith Teicher, here’s a crystal clear recording of KFXM (AM 590). This is a very funny show – and considering your webmaster never heard of KFXM before this, it’s a GREAT find! The exact date of this broadcast is in question, but Rockin’ Ron says it’s New Year’s weekend… so it’s…
Composite: 89 WLS Chicago | March, 1977
The late 70s. The second heyday of WLS in Chicago. By this time, WLS was the number one station in Chicago, even with FM competitors in the Top 40 format. It’s FM station at 94.7 was WDAI, an Album Rock station that had been around since 1971. WLS AM had been known in the early…
Composite: 95 1/2 WMET Chicago | March 1977
Who knows what became of this 1970’s FM competitor in the Windy City? Certainly, there’s plenty of personality on 95.5 FM (including ol’ Captain Whammo aka Jim Channel), but the jingles in use are probably the worst ever heard in contemporary radio. I suppose that would be unique enough to keep an audience, but one…
Jim Jeffrey & Rick Reinhardt, WAVE 970 Louisville | December 21, 1977 6pm – 12am
Recorded just before Christmas 1977, WAVE 970 is here an Adult Contemporary station that today no longer exists. There’s lots of news – NBC Network and local news by Mary McCarthy filling in for Tyler Cox and a later part of news with Norm West. The jocks are NOT part of a morning show, rather,…
Suitcase Simpson, WTAE “96 Kicks” Pittsburgh | January 31, 1977
This aircheck is somewhat confusing. The call letters are used at the top of the hour legal ID only. The station sometimes calls itself 96 KX, and other times 96 Kicks. And as if listeners weren’t confused enough, there’s a sweeper midway through using the slogan “Two Letter Radio – KX”. Boy, am I confused!…
