The Runners Up of Classic Rock and Roll Weekend; KRTH Los Angeles | August 29, 1987
Description by Contributor Jose Harrison: .. This specialty weekend (which began at 12 noon on Friday) involved all the songs that peaked at #2 (Runner’s Up) in Los Angeles from 1956 to 1979. It aired the weekend before Labor Day Weekend, every year in the mid 80’s until it was unfortunately discontinued after 1988. In…
Tim Morgan on WKEZ “Keys Country” Yorktown VA | March 1987
There’s a reason we don’t do much with country station airchecks – compared with top 40 they are kinda boring, but they are similar in format to AC stations so sometimes its worth it. Here’s a recording I made while still living in the Hampton Roads area of Virginia. There were, at the time of…
Brian Pierce, 194.5 WZOU Boston | 1987
It almost went back to Rock. WZOU was at a crossroads in ’86, that is, until CBS’ HitRadio 103 WHTT threw in the towel and flipped, first to AAA as ‘Quality Rock’ WMRQ, then to the long standing and current Oldies 103 WODS. So, it was that by 1987, WZOU was in full CHR glory,…
“Steveski”, WWDC ‘DC101’ Washington DC | October 8, 1987
New Contributor David Varndell checks in with this high quality recording of Steveski during his afternoon show. Its a crisp, Autumn day and the weather forecast is for freezing temperatures this particular night. We left the commercials in this one, as we often do, because of the historic nature of them. Check out the prices…
Gord Johnson, The “Sunday Funnies”; CHUM-FM Toronto | October 4, 1987
For those of you familiar with AOR FM radio in the late 70s and 80s, remember how when most other commercial radio stations were broadcasting either church services or some other public affairs programming to fulfill the governments public service requirements? Many Album Rock stations took this opportunity to run the truly bizzare or fun…
Mike Frasier, 98 “The Hot FM” WCAU-FM Philadelphia | July 27, 1987
Call this “Diary of a Confused CHR Station”. WCAU-FM is in the waning days of its contemporary music format, and obviously at a crossroads as to which way to go, musically. The station leans very rhythmic, and while the jocks are now calling this “98 The Hot FM” in their live banter, all the imaging…
Mal Vincent, “Dusty 45s”, 95 1/2 WMET Chicago | 1985-1987
Mal Vincent was a “supersub’. He would substitute for various DJs, usually at night. Scattered throughout a period of 4 years, he was on the air from 1983 through 1987. During his time with WMET Chicago, 95.5 FM, he was never given his own time-slot. This tape is a mixture of airchecks from June 1985…
Jack Scott, The Time Machine; 66 WNBC New York | September 6, 1987 7:30-8:30 PM
It’s more Time Machine more often! Here’s another segment of the Top 66 of the 1960s countdown with Jack Scott. This one sounds a little slow (which means the source tape was recorded a little bit faster than normal). So, yes, Jack Scott’s voice seems an octive lower (It’s not). There are more great PAMS…
