Dan Ingram, 101.1 KRTH Los Angeles | June 24, 1998 – Part 2
First off, big thanks to Big Apple Airchecks for another blockbuster aircheck donation! Matt’s been with us since the beginning and a simple thanks, oftentimes, is simply not enough. So visit his site! Here’s part two of Dan Ingram’s ‘tryout’. While the exact date of this aircheck isn’t readily apparent, Robert W. Morgan had passed…
Dan Ingram, 101.1 KRTH Los Angeles | June 24, 1998 – Part 1
East meets West! Or, to put it a different way, try to imagine yourself in 1970-something, listening to Dan Ingram on 93/KHJ. Big Dan delivered a one liner better than Robert W. Morgan! This proves something else. RKO General’s quick into and out of every element was far tighter than anything in the ABC chain,…
The Top 5 At 10 – A Sample of WSSX Charleston, SC | July 28, 1998
I wish I could tell you who the jock is on this aircheck, but in the 45 minutes of the original recording, he never says his name once. No jock imaging is heard… nothing! But its obvious from this 6-plus minute scope that 95-SX is all about the music and their audience. We join the…
WKQI “Q95-5” FM Detroit | July 25, 1998
“It’s a Hotter than Hanson Weekend” Front row seats to Hanson at the Palace… tickets given away all weekend long. I think I’d rather be run over by a garbage truck, but the kids liked Hanson, like they enjoyed the Spice Girls. Well that’s how it was at the tail end of the 1990s. Imaged…
Steve Brown, 104.1 WQAL Cleveland | July 4, 1998
“Cleveland’s Q104, The Best Variety of the 80s, 90s and Today!” Really, we wish we could just exhibit this unscoped! The audio quality is stellar, the music is SO good (hey, remember, this is before American Idol made everything sound generic), and it’s totally live! Steve Brown is heard here in the Noon hour, on…
Jordan, 96.9 WLAN-FM Lancaster PA | August 29, 1998
There doesn’t seem to be much in the way of posted airchecks from the late 1990s anywhere, and possibly because by then, radio had gelled into the early stages of what we have today, with perhaps more live voices than now. Either way, WLAN-FM sounds very similar in sound to another station we know well,…
A Sample of 94.9 WHOM Mt. Washington | 1998
A bit of Dx’ing one day netted this monster signalled station eminating from the top of Mt. Washington NH. With a signal that spans an area from Maine to southern Quebec in Canada, through Northern and Central Vermont, New Hampshire and even Central Massachusetts, WHOM has the signal to be THE regional powerhouse. For many…
Pete Stevens, 104.5 WXLO Fitchburg/Worcester Ma. | May 10, 1998
The similarities between WBMX “Mix 98.5” Boston and 104.5 WXLO out in suburban (Fitchburg) Worcester were striking. Both stations were Hot AC formatted, with the same blend of soft alternative, pop and 80s/90s gold music, and virtually the same on air approach. WXLO was consulted, at least for the second half of the 1980s and…
