QuickChexx: WBAB Babylon, Long Island | 1980
Okay, this one is so short I should call it a ‘lightning check’! Courtesy of Frank Ellsworth, who said he found a 1 minute aircheck and emailed it to us, here’s a short look at the morning show on WBAB “Long Island”, as they ID’d themselves for years. Nick Sarames (one of our esteemed contributors)…
Fig Newton (Dave Newton) on 1220 WGAR Cleveland | June 27, 1980
Fig Newton… what’s in a name? Plenty, if you’re from northeast Ohio. This is a pretty good morning show, reminiscent of Gary McKee on WQXI Atlanta. But this is Cleveland and WGAR is in it’s last days as a Top 40 station. Indeed, by mid-1980 many of the big and medium AM music stations were…
Composite: 94.5 WPEZ Pittsburgh | 1980
Description by Contributor Rob Sisco: This composite is from 1980 and represents the several months of WPEZ as a Top 40 station prior to it flipping to mainstream AC and finally to oldies as 3WS. It was also the last content played on the station under the top 40 format and led into the final…
Chip Binder, 1220 WGAR Cleveland | April 22, 1980
The second of two perfect-quality, right off the air monitor airchecks of Chip Binder on WGAR courtesy of Joy Binder! This time from 1980, listen as Musicradio 1220 sounds essentially as it did in ’79, complete with reverb and all! Be amazed realizing that Chip was an overnight guy… who today with that talent and…
Bruce Bradley, 97.1 WYNY New York | Summer, 1980
One of our original contributors from way back in 2002, Alan Fletcher, included this on something he called “AM/FM Snippets”. There were two discs, as I recall and some tapes that he had sent also. This is an excerpt from the original Volume 1, featuring Bruce Bradley in AM drive. It’s from, I THINK, July…

We begin the all-new Tom Lacko collection with this sales demo tape of WFFM Pittsburgh. Cut from a monaural studio reel (or cart), this tape gives a comprehensive look at the WFFM broadcast day, circa 1980. For those who never actually worked in radio, a tape like this is something salespeople could take to prospective…

Recorded just 3 days after the death of Beatle John Lennon, “K-Best 95” is going to be airing a Beatles special on the evening of this aircheck. I mention that right off to set the year and tone for this, our first of Jonathon Lange and of KBZT. This recording, not only is our first…
Ingrid Schumacher, CHUM-FM Toronto | November 29, 1980
Here’s a unique recording of 104.5 CHUM-FM from back in the days when the station was an Album Rocker. Ingrid Schumacher is listed on Rock Radio Scrapbook as being a weekend personality. She sounds very knowledgeable about the music and fits in well with the station’s overall sound. So good, in fact, by 2001, she…
