Holiday Sampler: Dido, on 93.7 KRQQ Tucson | December 23, 1995
Here’s the first of a few “Holiday Sampler” scopes we’ll post this year as we get ready for that time of year again! 93.7 KRQ is, in this recording, an Urban/Rhythmic-leaning CHR station. In fact, the station has been Top 40/CHR since 1977! I’m not sure of the exact year (1988 or 89), but under…
Howard Hoffman on 106 KMEL San Francisco | Early 90’s
While the date is unknown, I’m gonna chance a guess here at sometime around 1990 or so. One of our listeners will know for sure. Here’s Howard Hoffman. Known as a pretty wacky personality on the east coast (look for him here at airchexx.com from WPRO-FM, WPIX-FM & WABC), he’s a *bit* more subdued here…
Barnes & the CD Countdown, WNNX Atlanta | January 28, 1995
Notable because this station uses the only other 99X monikker that we know of, and because we featured this station’s CHR predecessor a few weeks ago, here’s a scoped hour of Atlanta’s New Rock station. 99X changed formats in 2007. When we get audio of the flip, we’ll post it on our sister site, The…
“Mr. 70s” Paul DiMarco, 98.3 WDAQ Danbury | September 16, 1995
“Mr. 70s” himself, Paul DiMarco contributed this aircheck of himself on WDAQ. It’s a 70s Saturday night and Paul plays the 70s classics, a specialty of his which continues today on the “Totally 70s” Internet station. The station was featured on Stickam.com, but Stickam went out of business a few weeks ago as of this…
“Arrow Talent Sampler” – KCBS-FM & KXOA (FM) | 1995
Perhaps this was the first incarnation anywhere of the modern “Classic Hits” format which most American Oldies stations have morphed into. This particular tape illustrates two Infinity (CBS) stations: 93.1 KCBS-FM Los Angeles (Arrow 93) and 107.9 KXOA (FM) (Arrow 108). Based on the tape label, and the fact that KXOA ran the format from…
Julie Slater, WAXQ “Q104-3” New York | November 25, 1995
As part of our ‘Annonymous’ collection, here’s what we really SHOULD call a MicroCheck. One break of the old Active Rocker Q104-3, which has been a Classic Rocker for some time now. Probably the hardest rocking station on the planet at one point in time, WAXQ was one of three stations playing Rock in New…
Big George Repco, Radio 80 WLAD Danbury | 1995
Recorded in 1995, just before Telcom ’96 all but destroyed local radio, here’s a very unique recording taken right off the original skimmer tape. Contributor Paul DiMarco told me that he was training on sister station 98Q, when George Repco walked by. Paul handed him a cassette, and we have this aircheck to prove that…
