Click on the Radio Miscellany section and listen to pristine  air checks from Channel 85 from Raleigh  North Carolina and WCFL Chicago from 1966.

***A note to air check traders. Please do not record these air checks and try and trade. I have the original tapes many of which I recorded myself and thus the authenticity can not be in doubt and can be easily traced.

The first clip features the hybrid AOR/Top 40 format of WVBF with DJ Charlie Kendall.  You will hear the “Electronic Mama” jingle for the station and the clip is short but interesting. Closes with a personal favorite, Todd Rundgren’s “I Saw The Light” from his landmark Something/Anything album.  The air check is stereo for about 20 seconds starting at 1:02. Most if not all of the other WVBF air checks on this site are also in mono but quite good quality wise.

The second clip features an automated version of WROR FM with a mix of oldies and some contemporary material.  Shame that the closing track by the ikettes is cut short.

Enjoy a small slice of Boston Radio history !

A nice quality clip from Q 107 in Toronto from the summer of 1982. DJ’s include Eric Westin ( I think). A bit of the All Night Andre with legendary Toronto musician Nash the Slash and the last DJ on the clip may be Keith Elshaw who along with Andre was also heard on CFNY FM. Fans of the old CFNY may enjoy some of the cuts on the clip. I regret that I do not have the full show with Andre and Nash The Slash. Audio of Andre is rare but I do have one other brief clip of him here

Corrections welcome and enjoy this clip which is a nice addition to the Q 107 content on the site. I still have more Q 107  to upload in the future.
