93/KHJ Los Angeles

An original recording obtained by contributor Daniel Coulombe, here’s the great Dr. John Leader… on KHJ! 1977 was still a good Top 40 year for the AM band, and KHJ was still in contention, even if K100 was the hot FM at the time, and with KTNQ was about to hit…

Leader was also heard at WQXI Atlanta and KSTP in the Twin Cities, but surely never better than here on KHJ!

WOR-FM 98.7 New York


Tommy Edwards, who would later appear at WLS Chicago, is heard on this very high-quality QuickCheck of the old WOR-FM 98.7! Courtesy of Paul Ford, this is a short, choppy scope of WOR-FM which includes jingles, but not much else for elements. You hear a bit of Tommy Edwards doing the format but that’s really just about it. Still, its a good history lesson from the dawn of FM Top 40 – 1971!

WFLY 92.3 Troy NY - Logo Circa 2010

Just over 6 minutes of what we think is the earliest FM Top 40 aircheck in the Capitol District, here’s Johnny Lance on the first pop music incarnation of WFLY. This is from 1971. WFLY will revert to a Classical format for a few years in the mid-1970s before returning to the Top 40 fold in ’78 and remains in the format today.

What’s New

This has got to be the hottest Summer we’ve seen in many years! So long as the air conditioning keeps working, we’ll try to get new airchecks online for you, although we’re down to about once a month updates… it’s just for these hot months, as there’s so much family stuff going on. We’ll get more regular this Fall.

As always, if you have any questions, want to donate an aircheck of yourself or a station you recorded, or just want to comment, I’d love to hear from you! Just use the feedback form on the Contact Us page in the top navigation bar. Thanks for visiting and enjoy your stay!
