Retro Radio - Classic radio air checks from the 70s and 80s
Mike Weber - CMR Studios
29 episodes
2 days ago
Rewind your calendar by listening to Mike Weber on the radio between 1969 & 1986. It provides a memory reviving snapshot of the times. Most of these airchecks are "scoped", meaning that when the microphone was off, the tape stopped recording. (Copyrighted material appears under the "Fair Use" doctrine.) Career growth for announcers at that time meant that you started at small market stations and progressed to larger ones as your talent developed. So these recordings include music and talk formats from: WMOA, KNEZ, WOXR, KCRG, WLW, WKRC, WLCY, WNSI, WQYK, WFLA-AM, WFLA-FM, and finally WPDS.

May 15, 1984 WFLA AM - Tampa Afternoon Drive

The afternoon drive slot at WFLA AM was fun because it paired me with traffic reporter Gary McHenry. I always tried to have a bit planned to bounce off him. Beyond some odd news item or fact it was all unplanned improv. You never hear radio like this anymore because the traffic is recorded from some remote location as is the on air talent who "voice tracks" (records breaks to be played later) multiple stations. This afternoon also features AccuWeather meteorologist Ken Clark.

Live radio like this is gone now. (As are green stamps, which was the big on-air promotion this day.)
