Classic Hits 102.5 WXLY Charleston SC | June 1988
102.5 FM in Charleston SC never seemed to ever stay with a format for very long. In 1993, your webmaster went to work, ever so briefly, for WEZL. One of the jocks that I was fortunate enough to make friends with, Rhett Bledsoe, said that he and TJ Phillips had the morning show on WXLY…
A Sample of WWHT AM/FM Charleston – “Hot 94” | June, 1988
Here’s another aircheck where the jock never says her name. Running just over 5 minutes scoped, that would come out to about twenty minutes air time, the music isn’t genuine ‘urban’ format (unless you think Steve Winwood’s “Higher Love” is Urban), although the station is certainly branded that way. Another from “California Aircheck” provided by…
Michael Dee and the Rude Wake Up, 107.5 WKQB ‘Q107’ Charleston SC | June 1988
Courtesy of Robyn Watts’ fabulously huge collection, here’s another ‘California Aircheck’. WKQB ‘Q107’ was considered the number one hit music station in Charleston in 1988, before Hurricane Hugo all but destroyed the station one year later. Station VP/GM Steve Judy comes on with an announcement at the 5 minute mark that the winner of the…
95SX Talent Search, WSSX Charleston SC | June, 1988
Courtesy of California Aircheck via Contributor Robyn Watts, here’s a short clip of the night show on WSSX ’95SX’ Charleston. About a year before hurricane Hugo would devastate both the city and the radio landscape (crosstown Q107 would never return after the storm), 95SX was around playing the hits. We don’t know the jock’s name…
Russ Cassidy, WCMS “FM 100” Norfolk Va | February 17, 1988
…FM 100 WCMS, Your Station Of The Stars! In what might just turn out to be the only remaining aircheck of the old WCMS (AM 1050, FM 100.5), here’s a recording I made while living in Portsmouth, Va. I was stationed in Norfolk during the years 1985-1988, much of that time in the Naval shipyards…
The Greaseman, WWDC-FM DC101 Washington | March 11, 1988
Its The Greaseman (Doug Tracht) in all his glory! This was recorded by Matt, owner of Big Apple Airchecks, who also recorded this aircheck of Grease on 3/30/88. The topic du jour is teens who date older women – at least that’s how this starts out. Its quite amazing to hear what happens when the…
‘Cousin’ Bruce Morrow Hosts the 2nd “Radio Greats Weekend”, 101.1 WCBS-FM New York | June 10, 1988
Courtesy of Contributor Frank Davis This was the second Radio Greats Weekend held by WCBS-FM, the first having aired some six years earlier, in response to WABC’s format change to talk. At the time of this recording, CBS-FM is a very 1950s and early 60s oriented station, playing a lot of Do-wop records and using…
