This brings back fond 80s memories of discovering, as a teen in NJ, that from evening to early morning I could pick up French-language broadcasts from this station, as well as from 690 AM (a Montréal station which at the time focused primarily on French-language news before eventually switching formats to English-language sports programming). Thanks for posting!

Frank was brutal on crime.

This is a cassette recording of distant AM and FM stations from over 40 years ago. Not digital with fading and static may cause distress to Generation Z viewers.

In my experience, it is rare than a DJ on an easy listening station provides playlist details! Very interesting!

I know that voice! ~ Joe Edwards (morning guy at WSHP in late 1979)

Nowadays the dude just plays nonstop Queen...he plays other songs but I swear dud3 only plays Queen. They good but not when played over n over

I'm trying to find hours n hours of wogl recordings...Momma would play it on car rides during childhood

For those viewers under the age of 30: this is a recording of a distant AM station recorded on a cassette tape decades ago. Not being crystal clear digital may cause distress to Generation Z viewers.

WGBI ...on 910 just popped into my head. I'm old.

I love this; I was 10 years old and just starting to DX. l still recall the thrill of hearing Chicago for the first time from Delmarva and then, wow, Canada! Had to run out and tell Mom and Dad!

I think Jefferson's voice is much deeper than that

I honestly think 1210 Am died 34 years ago when it stopped being WCAU-AM

June 24, 1982 AM and FM DX Session from far northeast Philadelphia. Technics SA-104 receiver. AM: internal ferrite bar antenna. FM: indoor 300-ohm dipole. CKLW 800 Windsor, ON; Trans-World radio (TWR) Bonaire, Netherlands Antilles; WWWE 1100 Cleveland; WJRZ 100.1 Manahawkin, NJ; WOBM-FM 92.7 Tom's River, NJ.

He was one of a kind! ❤

Do you please have any Sunny 100.7 FM WLEV end of 1997, 1998 airchecks?!

Thank you for this! I studied big band drumming with Howie 1986-1988 at his home studio on Long Island. He was the nicest guy, and the best teacher a drummer could ever have. I loved him and hearing his voice brought it all back.

I have that CKLW QSL card!

Very lekker!

It was all better music , DJ’s everything !!!

I do wonder if that snippet of Eddie Rabbitt and the subsequent NBC News sounder may have been WMEV 1010 AM out of Marion, VA

It just the times we live in now arent good it just seems like everything is so fake now nothing seems real anymore. People dont talk anymore everything is done with this stupid cellphone. I just think as times go by its just going to get even worse this world is going downhill.

Let me ask you people this if you were given a choice to have a beautiful family or to stay young forever what would u choose?

Seems like Bradford Dillman was in every show

JAM (Very Nice Cut 7)

That looks nice I like how the waves go on the sand

Do you have anymore from the Youngstown-Warren-East Liverpool OH-New Castle-Sharon PA area ?

I cant believe i was 7 years old recording songs from WSOU. Im looking for the old radio shows if anyone has a lead.

Any old shows from 1960’s the commercial were fun the music was Kitty wells Doc Williams ect ect

Very pretty

Hy Lit the late and the great. One of the greatest on air Disc Jockeys ever. RIP

I was a radio announcer from 1979 to 1990 and radio was much better years ago. You honestly had to have some skill to run a good show manually queuing up records playing the commercials when they needed to be played Without a second of dead time now the computer runs everything and as an announcer who still works in radio said a monkey can do it now because it's all computerized and the computer runs everything except for The Voice. Radio is an example of where technology has not improved things

The flagship station of ABC's Real Country network

I have a tape of Ed McMann doing middays in 1999 on my channel! WXKS sure had an "ironclad" long term air staff for decades.

Great camera work, very creative with all the variety of shots.

You're killing me, KZbin, with these ads that I can't skip!

1986 was the first year the TV dinner had a plastic (PET) tray to make them safe for use in the new microwave ovens, so this commercial was among the last for the old foil trays.

Peace and Progress? Very familiar words. Imagine that.

Used to listen to FM97 a lot in high school in the 80's

Brings back good memories of SWL and DXing.

Excellent documentary of an important subject, thank you

WJFK is an interesting station, super short-spaced with WWMX 106.5 in Balt. WJFK has a famously weak signal in DC to this day, too.

I miss this kind of music too. I used to lissen to this station when i was a child growing up in Brooklyn NY. I would still lissen to it now if it was still broadcasting this kind of music .

This is an interesting piece of audio. I never knew they had a Samuel cast before. 1:42

1300 WJFK-AM Baltimore simulcasting WJFK-FM 106.7 Washington, D.C. June 8, 1992, 11 p.m. to Midnight. Received in Philadelphia. Classic rock format with Howard Stern mornings. WLIF-AM went off the air September 23, 1991 and came back on the air September 30, 1991 as WJFK-FM.

The Fugitive, The Invaders, and The Streets Of San Francisco were the first shows I saw that had me hooked on those iconic intros.

Archies rule !😊😊😊😊

What killed this format was larger companies such as Clear Channel Communications started buying up radio stations and switching them to to oldies and/or talk radio formats in the mid to late 1980’s.This was way before the Iheart radio days. Also,this format was also known as Non-commercial radio format because philanthropists owned and operated these radio stations and were able to write the money it took to operate them off on their income taxes.But with the changes in the tax codes in the 1980’s,it became increasingly difficult to operate this format. There were two radio stations in my area that had this format:WLKW and WSRS(there were several others also), WLKW started switching more towards 1930’s and 1940’s radio format in order to be in harmony with the changes in the tax codes and did less of this format which ended up killing off WLKW and the station was sold to Clear Channel and became an oldies station with new call letters WWBB. WSRS did things totally differently,and started introducing movie themes such as CHARIOTS OF FIRE into this format along with soft 1960’-70s rock and switched to a commercial radio format with the Beautiful Music/Soft 1960-70’s and Movies themes format right through the 1980’s eventually settling into a lite rock format. The WLKW call letters were bought out eventually by Clear Channel and assigned to a sports talk radio station in Long Island New York.

My girl friend and I listened regularly every weekend. It was like having an old friend right there in the car. The years were 1962 - 1963. Great music!
