A Scott Lowe Special: “The Chucker Revolution” | Winter 2009
Contributor Scott Lowe checks in with a fantastic interview with Chuck Kirr, aka “The Chucker”. As you know, we’ve partnered with BigAppleAirchecks often in the past, and interestingly enough, Mr. Lowe contacted US about posting this great piece of work himself. A word about supporting Airchexx: It takes a lot to create and post compelling…
The Morning Zoo, 104.3 KQKS Denver | September, 1989
A very tight and well executed format is our critique of the former CHR station known as “KS-104”. They don’t give their names, but the two jocks heard here are hosting the “Morning Zoo”. This is the end of the 1980s, a time when many CHR’s in different markets identified as “Zoo”, in some manner,…
Tony Impieri’s “Road Trip ’89”, Part 1 | February 19, 1989
Back in 2005, Contributor Tony Impieri sent in a two part scope of an East Coast road trip in which he recorded radio all the way! Talk about distracted driving! Well, back in 1989 there was no such offense on the books, and we’re thankful for that, since this is a fantastic cross-section of radio…
Leo Knott, 102.3 KJLH Los Angeles | 1984-89

Had nice success with KJLH’s Sunday Oldies Show — (#1 Arbitron. Took my oldies act to KACE,…
WYHY Y-107 Nashville gets featured on 48 Hours | 1989
Sometime in the late 1980’s, the evening news program ’48 Hours’ did a segment on top 40 radio. Or, should I say, outrageous radio. Y-107 was so outrageous, it was prominently featured as a classic example of ‘sinful’ lifestyle (yes, Jerry Falwell was shown preaching against it.). This is priceless, if only to showcase just…
Suzy Waud on Energy 105 WNRJ Pittsburgh | October 27, 1989
Yet another from Robyn Watts’ huge collection includes this generous dose of CHR from the Steel City. This is another one of those stations that’s apparently been gone for quite a number of years (which is why a google image search turns up nothing). Still, a great sounding late-80s version CHR station that really made…
Peter Butler & The Z Morning Zoo, 98.5 KZOU Little Rock | October 23, 1989
Little Rock’s hit music station here is Zoo 98 – officially, 98.5 KZOU. This encompasses a bit of the Z Morning Zoo featuring Peter Butler, and friends… includes News, Sports and the (scoped) hits of the day. The date of this recording is based upon the birthdays noted shortly after the start of this aircheck.…
