QuickChexx: M. G. Kelly, 93 KHJ Los Angeles
Courtesy of Contributor Mike Donovan… Not exactly sure where this came from but it appears to be a demo from Machine Gun Kelly from his days at KHJ. Think of how many things no PD in radio today would tolerate on the air, and realize that most of what Kelly does on the air here…
Michael Sarzynski on 66 WNBC New York | October 23, 1978
Thanks to this late submission from our good friend “Magic” Matt over at Big Apple Airchecks, we can bring you a really GOOD, high quality recording of the late WNBC. 1978… probably the biggest year for Disco music, before the days of disco destruction… and here’s WNBC doing it’s best to compete with crosstown WABC.…
Bob Merchant; Ched Miller, 1410 CFUN Vancouver BC | 1978
Contributor Neal Bowden checks in with the first recording from him in what seems like several years! There’s something rather RKO-Esque about CFUN. Perhaps its the jingles, or maybe the way the jocks sound on the air. Who consulted CFUN in 1978? Well, this was smack in the middle of CFUN’s second Top 40 era,…
“The Smoker”, WZZP “Zip 106” Cleveland | September, 1978
Courtesy of Contributor Gus Gossert, Here’s this scope of Zip 106, playing the hits of 1978. You’ll enjoy listening to this and consider that this was another FM doing Top 40 in a time where most of the action was on AM.
Jim Randall, Afternoon Drive, WMZQ Washington | 1978
Guessing here on the exact year of this aircheck, here’s an interesting look at a station which, were it not for all the Country music, would simply be a great MOR station. If one of our listeners can nail down an exact date, I’ll edit this post appropriately. Notables: You’ll hear a newscast at 6pm…
Promo: The Great Rat Roundup– KNUS Dallas | 1978
Frankly, when this posted, your webmaster falsely assumed this was a big KNUS promo. Alas, the person who says he created this piece contacted us to set the record straight. Apparently this was *NOT* used on the air. Here’s what creator Bob Buchanan says about it: the roundup was NOT an on-air promo. it was…
Composite: WTIC-FM “96-TICS” Hartford | July 22, 1978
Contributor Steve McVie says this is the one WTIC-FM Hot Hits ™ aircheck he’s most proud of. The audio quality is stunning in this exactly 30 minute long scope showing off consultant Mike Josephs genius as heard in Hartford, Connecticut. Our contributor has a great website which highlights the Hot Hits ™ format and includes…
Bill Lenke, WTIC-FM Hartford | December, 1978
Bill (Lenke) Lee holds down one of the most envious jobs in all of radio – as the afternoon jock on New York’s 101.1 WCBS-FM, and around the world on CBS’ “Radio” app for mobile phones (yeah, its a modern technology thing…). Lee has always been one of our favorites! Bill uses his REAL name…
