[@markwrightrf]

I can remember when jocks watched the meters and diligently rode the faders for levels as seen here and not just hoped Optimod would make it right ;-) True pro. True style. Godspeed Jo Jo!

[@Mike-ze6jq]

I was in San Diego in 1989. That DJ rocked it man!

[@RageTVHTX]

I wish there were more. I could watch this guy all day. He amazing!

[@back2the80sradio]

Wishing radio like that was back!

[@Lens10x]

I miss Q106! I was 16 and I listened to this station all the time.

[@Christopher0817]

Jo jo was the man back in the day loved listening to him all the time this brings back so many memroies for me thanks for posting this

[@AJonAir1]

JoJo TRULY cares about his job! And doesn't read from a damn card! This is what broadcasting SHOULD be! And I'm trying to learn that now, as I'm in the business.

[@InTheZoneProduction1]

That was so cool to watch... so many memories.

[@johnsampson1096]

Before this JoJo was great at Kiss 108 FM Medford/Boston. He had perfect timing even then!

[@ShonnMorris]

I miss Q106. I loved this station when I first moved to San Diego

[@cabezon2469]

the carts. brings back nightmares.

[@cptkangaroo]

I also crossed paths with JoJo while working for Sunny Joe White in Boston. JoJo is the very best pure CHR air-talent ever......EVER. I remember standing outside the control room in complete amazement just watching his masterful work.

[@TheReubenKincaid]

Sunny Joe White ....Sunny Joe, JO Jo, Dale Dirman...Matty...Full days of talent, and all had their vibe and personalities....I remember on Friday’s Sunny Jo would sign off with his record Electric Dreams....I think that was the name

[@VBaskin2010]

That's Dale Dorman.

[@09roushsupercharged26]

Thanks for trip down memory lane. 1986-91 Navy

[@strangelove262]

Holy damn.. the postmaster delivers!

[@wall91nutz]

[@bgivesumoore]

JoJo was in his bag every day 🔥💯🔥🎤 always cookin...

[@fazbell]

A great high-energy jock, whom I first heard in Birmingham, Alabama, when he was on WSGN as "Amaysa" Kincaid. He's one of the best.

[@TroyMcCallum]

Inspiring and motivational. He was a madman in his day, love it. It's not stop in there.

[@t.s.m3379]

Just a clinic in being a 80's-90's top40 DJ.

[@dlavar5713]

Q106 a better mix of music and more of it! I loved this station as a teen!

[@briancrosson412]

Omg she got it wrong as fuck 😂 i remember it just like u said..it was Q106 a better mix of music and more of it 😂... I remember they would diss people calling even if they got one word wrong... They must have been being nice.. Or they changed it.. good ol 80's looking this up randomly in 2021, living in Florida

[@robinreese5334]

I sat right next to JoJo Cookin. You're right she screwed it up royally. Lol. Jojo was just trying to get her prize and get. GHOST. Sometimes u just let it ride. LOL

[@Scott-sd1zj]

I wish I was as good at my job as JoJo. What a guy!

[@snurgery]

one of the best jocks ever!

[@gregoryagogo]

He's a nut! I would have never imagined seeing him in action!

[@codydad1964]

+Gregory May - I did. He is an amazing talent and this was back when he was at his prime.

[@Tom_Roberts]

seriously professional

[@kathykosmic]

Song list: Paula Abdul - Cold-Hearted Al B. Sure! - Off On Your Own (Girl) Karyn White - Secret Rendezvous Simply Red - If You Don't Know Me By Now Prince & The Revolution - Kiss Sweet Sensation - Hooked on You

[@filmchild78]

This guy is awesome!

[@cnmcphaulsr4701]

Now this is a Real Kick ass on air Jock. Great board skills and timing. Plus he's fun to listen to. This is the primary reason why Radio stations are Dead Today because they lack the Energy and Entertainment of the on Air Jock..

[@HitsTownUSA]

I don't know the inside story but he came and went on KFRC a few years ago..He really brought alot of energy to KFRC (when most of the other jocks were boring) . I was doing some AM DXing in the late 80's and I'd pick up Q-106 on AM 600 at night all the way up in San Francisco.

[@gregoryagogo]

Seems like he's one of these 'hyper' types! All that energy... bet his feet are peddling the generator that powers the station!

[@Jimberlin]

That’s called cocaine

[@fontainelefunk]

@@Jimberlin Word.

[@robinreese5334]

No way. He didn't do cocaine. I sat with him for 3-4 yrs.

[@cupidomagnetico]

Talento puro!

[@hertzbus]

Oh My God... my station's gone! :(

[@darrylelkins681]

Pure magic

[@maxdoes_]

The look of concentration on his face at 1:40 as he counts in his head to PERFECTLY time the lyrics at 1:47. How does he do it??

[@bgivesumoore]

Pure talent.

[@seanp.2108]

All of the music, ads, station ID's are all on a log sheet with their times (length). If something was new, you'd listen to the ending to know when to launch the next song or commercial. His style is amazing

[@gregoryagogo]

I was listening!

[@hertzbus]

Q106- A Better Mix Of Music And More Of It!

[@VBaskin2010]

JOJO KINCAID!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@chericoffman6321]

Lol “the phrase that pays”! All the cheesy radio goodness!

[@lylewood2029]

Good jocks know the music inside and out but there is also a digital clock built into his board that starts counting up when the cart start button is pressed. The carts have the "talk-up" time noted on the label, i.e.: 'YOUR SONG - ELTON JOHN 3:45 :09 FADES @ 3:39 Sometimes, just for fun, we'd switch labels.

[@donmartin5742]

You're right about digital clocks and talk up time on the cart label....but good jocks didn't really need it . I worked with Kincaid at WSGN "The Big 610". His name then was Amaisa Kincaid....and he was that good ...even back then. I worked 3 to 6 P and he followed at 6 to 10P. My air name was Don Martin.

[@mayorstoner3459]

Just plain fun!!! BCRR (before consultants ruined radio)

[@robin2012ism]

The real Don Steele is legend. Hard to compare many to him.

[@davidredpath1389]

Gets paid lots of $$$$! For having fun!

[@lylewood2029]

Disk Jockeys are highly underpaid.

[@philipmclaughlin9636]

Yep most on air personalities don't make Howard Stern Money

[@nicksimon7364]

That looks fun for a few minutes but doing that 4 hrs a night has got to be exhausting - amazing job!

[@dawonvazquez24]

I know it may be late but can someone list which songs were in this video?

[@GrowlyBear917]

Headphones are on backwards.

[@minerdad02]

Came here from the stern show

[@philipmclaughlin9636]

This is now a Spanish station

[@RadioLover102]

Que BUENA 106.5 Now

[@djskoge]

I think this airtjek is from 1988.. Jojo say The new Paula Abdul "Cold Hearted" is release in 88

[@TheReubenKincaid]

DJ Skoge her album was released in 88. The song was a chart hit in the summer of 89

[@stevenpwr421]

Fever

[@pantufatransamerica1452]

showwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww

[@thebrain4239]

I remember this Guy he was just another Howard Stern Wana Be...After 10 minutes of his rants you would have to move the dial!! Many of these guys were all Cocained Up when they got on the Air.🤣🤣
