Fred Winston, 104.3 WJMK Chicago | January 10, 1990
Somewhere below the cellar is Fred Winston’s voice. His on air charm and sense of humor are natural talents. Its Ratings Day and Winston tells Newsman John Priester he brought all three of his listeners from the World’s Largest Stockpile, er, WLS- which he couldn’t mention on Majic 104. Not that THAT would stop anyone…
Fred Winston, Dick Saint & Doug Dahlgren, 890 WLS Chicago | March 12, 1976
…There’ll be no high today, sorry…. I’m high… no no no… I’m kidding. I wish I was high… no haha just kidding… If we had a ratings system, this would get four stars! Wait! Actually, we do! Try it. This aircheck comes to us from Ira Menacker via Matt Seinberg. Thanks to both of them.…
Johnny Driscoll, WCFL Chicago | 1974
Enter John Driscoll (Jock, Consultant & Airchexx Contributor). Talk about HIGH ENERGY! Driscoll easily gives John Records Landecker over at crosstown WLS a run for his money. This is 1974. WCFL was owned by the Chicago Federation of Labor. I always thought it interesting that a labor union could own a radio station. Actually, WCFL…
John Records Landecker, 89 WLS Chicago | March, 1988
Courtesy of longtime contributor Robyn Watts, from California Aircheck tape #96, here’s Chicago’s 890 AM WLS. John Records Landecker is the featured jock on a very TALK intensive show that features very little in the way of music, but still playing the contemporary “AM 89 WLS” jingles from Jam Creative Productions. I’m struck by just…
Jim Runyon, WCFL Chicago | August, 1966
The Chicago Federation of Labor station, as heard during the Summer of 1966. The jock is Jim Runyon – he’s got a smooth voice, and the advertisements feature smooth ladies’ voices! At least, the one for “Compoz” does. You’ll hear five minutes of scoped Jim Runyon, then a minute of WCFL News headlines before its…
Johnny Driscoll, WCFL Chicago | 1976
Our newest Contributor looms large among legendary personalities John Driscoll was a popular (not to mention famous) jock in cities like Chicago and Miami, along with a few other places…he currently has his own voiceover website and even has his own archives – check it out at Voiceover America. The link leads to a section…
Don Geronimo on 89 WLS Chicago | September, 1982
The Rock of Chicago sure is rockin’ on this aircheck! Here’s Don Geronimo (WPGC, WAVA, WXLO) during a short stint in the Windy City! WLS is still doing the faux-AOR format, and this is right around the time that WLS-FM 95 (94.7) came into the picture in a big way. By 1986, the rock audience…
Joel Sebastian, J.J. Jeffrey (first show) on 89 WLS Chicago | 1971
Almost 18 minutes of pure heaven. Thanks again to Matt @ Big Apple Airchecks, a huge slice of WLS! Included: tons of early 70s commercials and those awesome WLS Jingles! J.J. Jeffrey would go on to station ownership later in his career. WLS would go on to number one status later that year.
