A look at Calgary’s Rock, “Kick 107” (CKIK) | February, 1985
So you’re a rocker and you’re in Calgary for some reason… and much to your surprise there is a really GOOD rock station on FM. Kick 107, isn’t the name of a Country station, at least not here. Its a really good Rock station. Not all hard rock, mind you, but a station that reminds…
Sample: WWDC Washington DC | July 15, 1999
Here’s a sample of “DC-101” from the Summer of ’99. Notice the format is current based, and right in the middle of the Rock Genre, with plenty of classics. There were harder rocking stations, such as Baltimore’s WIYY “98 Rock”, and true-Alternative formats such as 99-HFS, but DC 101 straddled the fence and played it…
Sample: 106.7 WWID Gainesville GA | September 5, 1982
Contributor Jay Sawyer sent in this sample of the old WWID “Wide 107” from the Atlanta market. We’ve determined the date to be 9/5/82, based upon clues in this very short but excellent quality aircheck. This station is now an All-News outlet, branded “NewsRadio 106.7” with the call letters WYAY. Aircheck #1,349 since May 2,…
Sample: 98.7 WKSI Greensboro | August 29, 1999
There’s surprisingly little information about this station, once known as “The New 98-7 The Point”. Its current call letters are WSMW, calls that were once in use in Worcester, Massachusetts, used to identify UHF Television TV CH. 27 in the early 1970s. “The Point” was a Rock-based CHR format with no jingles but a healthy…
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…
MicroChexx: A Sample of 100.7 WZLX Boston
Found on an unlabeled tape that I believe was recorded from the town of Tully, Massachusetts using an FM Beam antenna sometime in 1998, here is a very short, noisy scope of 100.7 WZLX. There’s not much I can tell you about this except there was a bit of Tropo enhancement, and my Radio DX’ing…
Snapshot: WLDI “Wild 95.5” West Palm Beach | March 27, 2004
“The Palm Beaches Hit Music Station” – Wild 95-5! The slogan that gets repeated over and over and over. But isn’t that the whole idea? This is CHR radio for West Palm Beach and the whole South Florida Coast. Its NOT all Hip Hop and R&B, as Alternative and Pop are represented quite well in…
A sample of AM drive on 1050 WHN New York | 1986
In the waning days of Country music at WHN, here’s a look at how mornings sounded just before the end. By 1987, WHN would be gone, having flipped to All-Sports as 1050 WFAN, which would move the next year in what was known as the big switch, down to 660 upon the expiration of WNBC.…
