Dick Heatherton on WCBS-FM 101.1 New York | 1978
One great thing about WCBS-FM has always been the incredible consistency about their programming. This sounds much as CBS-FM does today – and perhaps it’s because at this time, in 1978, CBS-FM was formatted more like a Gold-Based AC instead of a pure Oldies station (although, I don’t believe Tavares “It Only Takes A Minute”…
Mucho Morales; Bobby Ocean, 93 KHJ Los Angeles | December, 1978
Thanks again to BigAppleAirchecks for another classc… KHJ at the end of 1978, was the poster child of liner card radio. Sure, the music is on target, but the jocks really had their hands tied and couldn’t really be themselves. The station’s slogan tells it all: 93/KHJ – The ALL MUSIC STATION. Not a terribly…
Geoff Fox, 95 WPEN Philadelphia | Sometime, 1978
Geoff Fox and WPEN both have exciting histories – Fox was an AM Top 40 Deejay before obtaining a degree in meteorology and launching a career in Television. He was a longtime Weatherman for WTNH News 8 in New Haven, CT before being let go in 2010 (in favor of a young female Meteorologist). Fox…
WABC Rewound ’04: Bob Cruz, August 31, 1978
Courtesy of Matt Seinberg at Big Apple Airchecks, here’s another ‘lost’ tape: From Rewound ’04, Hour 2 featured Bob Cruz during his program on 8/31/78. As host Johnny Donovan says, this segment is for those who love ‘lost 45s’. WABC played a lot of disco music at this point in time, but it begins with…
Composite: 1020 KTNQ Los Angeles, “The New Ten-Q”
Listen to the collection of voices in this long composite! Narrated by Jimi Foxx, this includes the station’s 1976 launch, then continues on to profile the (then) current airstaff and their ratings performance. I’m guessing that this was produced in 1977, perhaps as a sales tool or for an industry trade publication. This was contributed…
Tom Prestigiacomo with Bill Bailey, 79 WAKY Louisville #5 | Summer, 1978
This begins with an old-fashioned shift-turnover featuring the legendary ‘Duke of Louisville’ himself, Bill Bailey talking about the previous weekend’s “Battle of the Stars” competition between area media. Sounds like there was lots of fun, and plenty of Bailey’s snarky sense of humor! The rest of this is a great scoped two hours of Tom…
