Like you, I recorded “oil of dog” in the 1970’s and 80’s. I still have some of the cassettes. I am tempted to go into my archives and digitize them for you if you are interested.
I may have one or maybe more of those contest snippets of Bob Magee and co but if you search You Tube there is or at least was one longer air check of Bob Magee and also there’s one posted to Dale Patterson’s Rock Radio Scrap Book : http://rockradioscrapbook.ca/cka-oct18.html
Thank you for the reply 🙂 I did see the air check on Youtube and thank you again for the link. Last question, what about any air checks of Roger, Rick & Marilyn?
I think I still have some of the contest snippets of R & M that will can upload in the future but don’t have anything with Rick as far as I remember. The Rock Radio Scrapbook has some Roger Ashby content.
Let the universe answer is such a cool site to visit: Hi Javid I tried to send this message to Kals mail site but was not able to get through regarding CHUM FM commercials. I tried his message site and could not get through because something was wrong with address, could you forward this mssg to him Thanks Regards Ted
Hi Kal : In your collection of Chum FM tapes do you have any ads for Panasonic dating back to the early 70’s ( 1970 – 73 period). I remember a really cool ad about Panasonic and maybe technics stereo eqt. from that period. It might have been done by David Pritchard? If You do please add it in with another radio clip and any other cool ads. Thanks and Regards Ted
Hello,
Very much appreciate the Bob Eubanks, Dick Moreland air check. I am producing a documentary on LA during the 60s and 70s with a target of going to KCET the LA PBS station. Is there any chance you might have KRLA air checks from June 26, 1967 and following days after the Century City protests?
It could have been a Pete’N’Geets commercial for Fairview Electronics. They always mentioned brand names in their spots. I recorded dozens of them with Pete and Dave “Geets” over the years.
Unbelievable! I can’t wait to sift through some of this stuff. I was just doing some random reminiscing on YouTube and saw your Gary Storm/WZIR video/air-check. That was a great station; formative listening for many of us. Anyway, now that I’ve found your blog (and being so happy to see it looks like you are still posting new things in 2023!), I look forward to perusing your prose and musical promulgations…
Hi wondering if you could tell me the piece of instrumental and artist that played as background music on an advertisement from your WCMF FM clip it came on at about 40 min 13 second point of the clip. WCMF Oct 1971 Fred Filbreck was the DJ.
It’s too bad that some people have driven you to not put on any more clips as you have been having trouble with some who have tried monopolizing on it. Our generation is not getting younger and the next ones after us won’t care about any of it, why worry about it, don’t let it get you down. Always enjoy your efforts. Thanks,
Muckers I am not sure how many times I won on the Morning Mystery Oldie/Hit but quite a few. I have uploaded pictures above which you can click and enlarge to view documentation I kept about all the radio contests I won on various stations between 1972 to 1974 and then 1986 to 2001. I love music trivia and would play all the contests where there was a question. Rarely entered the ones where you just had to be the 10th caller and such. I played these contests from 1972 until approx. 2008. I did not document in writing my winnings between 1974 to 1986 or between 2001 to 2008 but I have some audio of those on the site.
Near the end I had really slowed down and by one point I just retired from the hobby. Between 1990 and 2001 it had become a bit too extreme and so I was glad to slow down. The period between 1974 to 1985 was also not too intense and most of my winnings were probably confined to CHUM FM, CFNY and Q 107. I did not branch out to the other stations until I caught the bug to win and in the early days I only entered contests on stations that listened to regularly. With the internet and Shazam and such, the contests probably don’t offer as much of a challenge.
All my wins between 1972 and 1974 were on CHUM FM and that was my favorite era as the station was free form.
In all I must have won well over 260 radio contests.

Hi Javed,
Great website a lot of memories for sure. Do you have any more air checks of Bob Magee, Samantha Houston & Robbie Evans?

Ted, I reached out to Kal and he does not specifically remember a Panasonic or Techniques ad but you never know so stay tuned.
Thank you Javid, hopefully he has it because it was a cool ad to hear late at night. regards Ted

How many times did you win on the Morning Mystery Hit (CHUMFM 104.5) in the mid to late 80’s????

Did not realize you had won over 250 contests. Got a chuckle seeing a win for Englebert Humperdink.
