News with Steve Tefft, 960 WELI New Haven | March 30, 1988
Contributor Steve Tefft sent one in featuring himself doing a newscast in 1988. Yes, apparently WELI did play music sometime in its past. Most AM stations did at one point or another. But few in modern times can recall WELI as a music station. You’ll hear parts of two songs on either end of this…
Mark Cardnella, 96.9 WXTC Charleston | June, 1988
Here is a glimpse of 96.9 FM after it emerged from the long dark tunnel of Beautiful Music, which WXTC was from the early 70s after it changed call letters from the heritage WCSC. Hurricane Hugo would devastate the Lowcountry just a few months after this was recorded, but the station survived a few more…
Jonathan Schwartz, “A Tribute To Baseball”, WNEW (AM) New York | January 31, 1988
Here’s something totally different. About four years before AM 1130 changed to Business News Radio WBBR, WNEW was programming ‘other’ things besides American Popular Standards. Jonathan Schwarz was an incredibly talented personality, and one whose name is very familiar, seems to not be nearly as memorable as the Rock N Roll variety of jocks. I…
Bob Grant, TalkRadio 77 WABC New York | December 30, 1988
Its the final “Gag Hour” for 1988 on the legendary Bob Grant show! If you never heard Bob Grant, he was one of the last middle of the road, local and national, issues oriented talk show hosts before talk radio, and WABC in particular, moved to the far right of the political spectrum. One thing…
Don Bleu, Rick Shaw; 99.7 KYUU San Francisco | August 5, 1988
KYUU was launched with those call letters by then owner NBC, in 1978. The station was Top 40 for most of its existence, but in 1988, NBC began selling off all of it’s radio properties to concentrate solely on Television. Emmis purchased KYUU, much like it purchased the 660 frequency from NBC in New York…
Gary Williams, 105.7 WVBF Framingham (Boston) | December, 1988
Toward the end of its long, storied history as one of the Boston area’s first successful FM radio stations, WVBF here is a fairly uptempo station, but after two decades of playing contemporary music in one form or another, this station here known as “The Wave of Boston” was not the ratings winner it had…
Bill Brown, 101.1 WCBS-FM New York | December 22, 1988
Bill Brown began his tenure at the Golden 101 in 1969 and stayed with CBS-FM for 36 years! He was displaced in 2005, when the station ditched Oldies for the failed “Jack-FM” Variety Hits format which lasted just under two years. Brown only goes by his first name, Bill. His is a warm personality, with…
MicroChexx: Mucho Morales, KPWR Los Angeles | November 8, 1988
Michael Jackson is still a hot artist – perhaps at the top of his game, in fact, Power 106 is promoting the 2nd night of the Michael Jackson concert the following night. Mucho Morales is featured here, but within the first few seconds, Jay Thomas (WXLO, Sirius/XM) voices a promo for his morning show. This…
