Marc Somers, 101.1 WCBS-FM New York | December 22, 1988
Mark Somers sits in for the vacationing Ron Lundy a couple of days before Christmas, 1988. The “Golden 101” is in it’s prime, playing the hits from the late 50s right up into the 1980s, although the 80s cuts are not rotated in as frequently as the 60s/70s material. CBS-FM has a wide playlist at…
Sample: “Power 108”, 107.9 WPHR Cleveland | January 7, 1988
Courtesy of Contributor Robyn Watts, this update includes this six minute air sample of a CHR station that was known as “Power 108”. Among the personalities that would make up this station’s talent roster was John Records Landecker, of WLS fame. This particular scope is completely jockless. Just liners and sweepers and songs. What was…
John Landecker in the Afternoon on 89 WLS | 1988
Here’s a slice of the end of WLS as a music station. WLS is running the ‘serial number’ game and Landecker handles the call perfectly… it’s not a boogie check, but good nonetheless.
Composite: CKLW-FM 94 Windsor Ont. | 1988
Here’s another one we have to make an educated guess as to the year. This was the short-lived recreation of the Big 8 – on FM! Judging from my trip to Detroit in the early 90s, I remember this station and it really DID sound good. One of the very few Oldies stations to effectively…
Composite: WHTZ Z100 New York, 1985-1993
From the world’s best Aircheck site, here’s a composite of the greatest hit music station of all time! Sorry kiddies, WABC may have been first and fantastic, but Z100 was and still is the hottest station on the planet. The greatest jingles from Jam, a fantastic Top Hour ID from Ernie Anderson, and personalities like…
The Greaseman, WWDC-FM Washington – DC101 | March 30, 1988
How long has it been since The Greaseman was DC-101’s morning guy? Courtesy of Matt @ Big Apple Airchecks, this will surely bring back fond memories of the man who had a million stories (or so it seemed). We sure miss hearing Doug Tracht and here’s why. Here’s a real personality – someone who was…
J. B. Lewis on WBLX Mobile AL | March, 1988
Typical 80s CHR, a bit more urban than mainstream, and one jock named JB Lewis. Okay, so JB doesn’t have a big set of pipes… but he does run a tight, upbeat show and that counts for something, right? No jingles on this station. At least none on this aircheck. Perhaps someone knows the history…
Mike Greene on WQIO Mt. Vernon Oh | 1988
From new contributor Mike Greene comes this short but super hi-fi quickcheck from the Midwest. Mike emailed this one in from his personal collection. He writes: WQIO was a creation of mine from the ground up. We gutted the old studios, changed the call letters, increased the power to 50,000 watts, hired a completely new…
