Chuck Leonard, WRKS 98.7 Kiss-FM New York | November, 1987
Courtesy of Big Apple Airchecks, here’s Chuck Leonard (WABC, WQEW)and a reasonably short scope (just a few breaks) of Mr. Leonard and a lot of historically significant advertisements. The imaging isn’t over the top here, but the music was certainly edgy for its time. If you remember 98.7 Kiss (they DON’T call it Kiss-FM here)…
Chuck Leonard, 77 WABC New York | January 1, 1976
It’s New Year’s Day and Chuck Leonard is counting down the Top 100 of 1975, “for the final time”. WABC would run down the list on New Year’s eve and then go to the top and do it again New Year’s Day. In retrospect, this is a fascinating look at Mid-70s WABC at a time…

Chuck Leonard, 77 WABC New York | August 3, 1979
This aircheck goes back to the final few years of MusicRadio 77 WABC. We find a lively Chuck Leonard playing the hits of ’79. WABC seemed to play a lot of Disco music in 1979, but by the time of this aircheck in late summer 1979, the stations seems to be starting to play fewer…
