Jack Daniel, 99.7 WJZR (Z100) Kannapolis NC | December, 1984
For those who don’t know of Kannapolis, its a suburb of Charlotte, NC. That’s the official C.O.L. (City of License) of the former WJZR, known at the time of this recording as Z100, “The Carolina’s FIRST Hit Music Radio Station”. Feel free to discuss why they picked that slogan. Z100 has been gone for so…
Sample: 92.7 WLIR Garden City NY | August 4, 1984
For Alternative and true Album Rock Radio fans, the story of WLIR is somewhat sad. The original WLIR had its license revoked in 1987 over some long dispute over its operating on a Special Temporary Authority by the FCC, some 15 or so years prior. We really don’t know all the details, what we do…

Don Geronimo in the Morning on WBBM B96 Chicago | 1984

Look him up online if you’re willin’ to make a deal, pardner… Here’s DG on the ‘Bee’… and he sounds incredible here. Perhaps it was the processing that lowered his pipes an octive! Geronimo is heard elsewhere here at…
Tony Cox on WZKS 96-Kiss Nashville | July 1984
Nashville. Not Union, MS, as is the current home of those call letters. Everything changes, including this vintage 80s CHR which these days is WCJK from Murfreesboro, outside of Metro Nashville. Music City has always been a hotbed of radio talent and this was no exception. While the city at that time was very much…
Morning Madness: Bob Wall on WGCI Chicago | January 1984
Once again, it’s back to the Robyn Watts collection for this bit of Morning lunacy from Bob Wall at WGCI – before ‘GCI was playing hip hop and R&B! Its 80s CHR to the max as Wall is a man of many voices. This partucular morning he’s taking your calls to see who is today’s…
The Aircheck Factory Presents: The Z-104 Tapes – RELOADED
Originally provided on CD by Norm Miller, here’s a fantastic look at WZYQ Frederick & WZYQ-FM Braddock Heights, a station that ended up in recent years a simulcast of Washington DC’s Z 104. This compilation spans an entire decade from 1975 to late 1984. It’s introduced by voiceover king, programmer and fabulous jock Charlie Van…
Drew Pierce, 570 KRQX Dallas | October, 1984
Thanks to Contributor Robyn Watts, we now fit one of the pieces of the 570 AM puzzle in Dallas. 570 Dallas started off as WFAA – and really, the station that was WFAA began elsewhere on the dial – where every other AM station in America did, at 833 Kilocycles (KC) was at a couple…
