Michael P., 105.1 KMJX “Magic 105” (Conway) Little Rock | October 23, 1989
“…We’re dealing with goofy middle names today” Like much of the Little Rock radio market as of this writing in 2013, the station formerly known as “Magic 105” has changed formats, this time to Country. But here in 1989, KMJX was a Rock station. Not knowing exactly the form of this format at the time,…
Don Christy, 94.9 KOLL “Kool 95” Little Rock | October 23, 1989
Yet another morning drive of Little Rock radio is presented here, on a tape from California Aircheck contributed by Robyn Watts. Here’s the Don Christy morning show on Kool 95. This is a mainstream Oldies station playing the hits of the 50s, 60s and early 70s. A pretty good sounding station as most Oldies outlets…
Craig O’Neil, 103.7 KKYK Little Rock | October, 1989
We’re guessing on the date of this aircheck as sometime in October, 1989, based upon the news item that Jim Bakker was sentenced to prison the day before this was recorded. (Can’t find the exact sentencing date but the trial lasted six weeks and began in August of 1989, so this is just a guess).…
QuickChexx: KMPZ-FM Z98 Memphis | January 17, 1989
This is just about the shortest aircheck on the site, but we’ve added it because there is no audio that we can find anywhere from this era of 98.1 FM in Memphis. Contributed by Henry Nelson, PD of WRBO Memphis in a box of what he termed ‘junk’ (one man’s junk is another man’s treasure…),…
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…
San Francisco CHR: Morning Drive on 106 KMEL and KXXX X-100 | September 1989
Here is a unique, narrated look at late 80s morning drive in San Francisco. Two great FM stations are featured here, courtesy of Robyn Watts and Hecht Enterprises, an apparent aircheck service at the time. This starts with the “Morning Zoo” on KMEL, then moves on to the X-100 morning show. X-100 of course morphed…
Jo Jo Morales, WHTZ Z100 New York | July 26, 1989
Z100 is celebrating its 6th year as New York’s Number One Hit Music Station, and all sorts of people are congratulating the station including (then) New York Governor Mario Cuomo. We love it when politicians and other celebrities personally voice station liners! This is Z100 in all of it’s glory, playing ALL the hits with…
Robin King & the “Power Request Hour”, WKSS “Kiss 95.7” Hartford | 1989
Courtesy of longtime Contributor Robyn Watts, this un-dated scope of night jock Robin King, and an assortment of GREAT phone call requests. In fact, aside from this wonderfully fun personality, the best part of this aircheck has to be the way King handles the phones. There’s one bit where a woman requests Guns N Roses,…
