A You Tube post of the second part of an air check made during a trip to Texas in July 1968. A great sample of top 40 radio in the Southwest. Part One is posted to the Radio Miscellany section of the site. This part covers line two in the video pic below. Interesting that a Top 40 station would feature segments from the Firesign Theatre but that is what we hear during a part of the KILT section.
***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 wildly eclectic San Francisco station K101 FM from San Francisco from 1973. Not progressive, not AC or top 40. The segment features station owner James Gabbert plus another announcer near the end.
The second clip is from 1980 and Detroit s WWWW FM. The segment features mostly Doug Podell and the alternative music show W4 Play but there is some other station content as well.
The last clip is from 1982 and features Jim Monahan on progressive WNEW FM from New York.
Uploaded this to You Tube. Taken from a tape that I have which was recorded off KSAN FM San francisco in 1971.
