***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  is from Sept 7, 1980 and is a continuation of a tape I uploaded earlier of ( Doctor ) Doug Podell on WWWW FM and a show devoted to the music of the 1960’s called 1060’s. Toronto radio fans –  if  Roger Ashby’s  Sunday morning Oldies had been combined with Psychedelic Sunday  this might be the result.

The second clip features Detroit AOR station WLLZ  ( Detroit’s Wheels ) from late 1981. A good example of the AOR format at the time with tracks by Led Zeppelin, The Stones, The Cars, The J Geils Band and more. The station became Detroit’s top rocker for a time. The DJ is Harv Blaine and a big thanks to Mega Hertz at the Michigan Radio and TV Buzzboard for identifying him.

Bonus Addition:  Third clip added after initial post. Doug Podell on WWWW  FM with another slice on the 1060’s. Not sure of the date of this one and it may also be from September 1980. A great set of music including the rarely heard Michigan area band Frost.

Also head over to Radio Miscellany to listen to WCLS  ( Class FM)  featuring the music of the 60’s, 70’s and 80’s.  A soft-rock/AC type format and the air check is from the mid 1980’s.  Tracks by Cat Stevens, Jackson Browne, The Beatles, Bread, The Beach Boys and James Taylor make it palatable.  DJ is Kim Carson. Air check is the latest addition to radio miscellany and you will have to scroll down the page to find it.
