Doug Taylor, 102.9 WDRC-FM Hartford | October 28, 1998 5:22pm-9:22pm
1998 was a year of change in the world of Oldies radio. The format, according to its consultants and programmers, was beginning to “age out”. Meaning, the audience for music of the 1960s and early 1970s was reaching the over 55 age group that, while once upon a time, was sought after by advertisers because…
Al Bandiero, 105.1 WBIX (WTJM) New York’s Jammin’ Oldies | December 10, 1998
**LISTENING LINKS FOLLOW DESCRIPTION BELOW** Al Bandiero (WKBW, WXLO, WIFI…) sounds less than excited about the NEW “Jammin’ 105. So new that they haven’t even changed the WBIX call letters to WTJM yet. This is a worn-out tape made when Jammin’ 105 was launched. Not sure WHO recorded it, but it landed in the hands…
A Sample of KPTY “Party Radio @ 103-9” Phoenix | September 12, 1998; 7:25 – 8:10 PM
The station wasn’t around very long – 1997-2000, but it did make it’s mark on the Phoenix market.
Bobby D., WRFY Y102 Reading (PA) | August 29, 1998
Description by Steve West Here’s one of those ‘checks we don’t really know much about, other than it’s from Reading, Pennsylvania. The signal probably makes it into Philadelphia, although probably very weak. Here’s Bobby D., playing the (mostly) Rock hits on a CHR station that leans Alternative/Modern Rock, but with a Top 40 approach.…
The “Other” WXLO, 104.5 FM Fitchburg/Worcester | March 21, 1998
This aircheck originally posted early in the history of this website, in April of 2004. Here is the original description written by the founder.
Chris Emory, 93.1 WPOC Baltimore | October 24, 1998
Here’s a clip of WPOC that I recorded while parked at a truck stop on my way to North Carolina with a load of something. I was a truck driver for a few years after my military service and my professional radio career in Memphis. In the world of Country Radio, there’s not a lot…
104.3 KXME Honolulu – “Extreme Radio @ 104.3” | February, 1998
A Rock-Leaning CHR aimed at men? That’s what this was all about. Jerry Clifton had in mind to take KXME in a Rock/Rap direction, hoping to build on ratings. It didn’t work, and six months later, 104.3 went the other direction, and turned into a Rhythmic CHR aimed at a much younger, female audience. This…
Ellen Rockwell, WFLY FLY-92 Troy (Albany) | January 27, 1998
Description by Steve West: Yes, WFLY was a huge powerhouse station, from the early 80s on, and this time, we hear Ellen Rockwell on FLY-92! She does one of Leeza Gibbons’ Entertainment Tonight reports during her show! One thing that makes this an historic aircheck is the news that “Seinfeld” is ending with the next…
