QuickChexx: Larry Richards, 96.1 WHTX Pittsburgh
Does anyone suppose that there’s such a thing as a dead frequency? How about a ‘failed’ frequency? Okay, lets completely rephrase this. Just how many times, do you suppose, does one radio station need to change format and call letters until the respective owners find one that manages to grab and keep and audience and…
Suzie Barber, 96.9 WMYG Braddock PA (Pittsburgh) | 1990
Another from longtime Contributor Robyn Watts, this is a 5 minute scope of Classic Rocker WMYG Pittsburgh, known on air as “Magic 97 FM – Home of the Classic Tracks“. The station’s history describes WMYG as really beginning as Soft Rock formatted WFFM. The station played Soft Rock during the day, but beginning in 1985…
90s Sample: 100.7 WXXP New Kensington PA
The recording date is unknown for this sample of 1990s 100.7 Double-X. Oddly enough, there’s very little information available on this radio station, so listener input is very important as we log the history of radio.
Jeff Christie, WIXZ 1360 McKeesport PA | 1971
A long time ago, Contributor Mike Donovan sent in this ultra-rare recording of “The Jeff Christie Radio Network”. Confirming what appears to be the largest ego ever to grace a radio speaker, this is unmistakably the pre-talk show work of one Rush Limbaugh. Ok, critique from a jock’s point of view… not bad, although you…
Suzy Waud on Energy 105 WNRJ Pittsburgh | October 27, 1989
Yet another from Robyn Watts’ huge collection includes this generous dose of CHR from the Steel City. This is another one of those stations that’s apparently been gone for quite a number of years (which is why a google image search turns up nothing). Still, a great sounding late-80s version CHR station that really made…
Chad Stevens, 1510 WXVX “X-15” Monroeville (Pittsburgh)
Updates thanks to contributor Chris Cuomo. When one looks up ‘1510 Pittsburgh’ or something similar, WPGR-AM shows up, as a small signal member station of St. Josephs Mission and broadcasts Catholic programs 24-7. For whomever can hear the station’s 1000 watts.. or who tries at night, as the station transmits a whopping ONE watt! Well,…
J.R. Russ narrates a WBUX Doylestown PA, Sales Demo | 1990
Used as a sales tool, this demo for WBUX 1570 AM, Bucks County, PA is well produced and does get right to the point, using a few air samples and a description of the station’s live, full service features. The format seems to be Top 40, and if so, would have been one of the…
Jackson Armstrong on KDKA Pittsburgh | October 12, 1975
Listening to this you’ll NEVER believe that it’s your LEEEEEEEeeeeeeaaader! from KB and elsewhere! Jack Armstrong has to be one of the most versatile jaws in radio, and to be working for Westinghouse Broadcasting…. who woulda thunk? You’ll never believe this until you hear it. This is the MOR KDKA which was more soft and…
