KBFF May 5, 2013
We are in what is now my home market for the next six weeks, as we listen to Live 95.5. Although I’ve posted airchecks recorded from Global Tuners on this site before now, this is the first one I actually recorded, as it was done on the day I signed up for the account, May…

Looking back at 2024
It’s the time of year to look back on the year that was, so that’s what we’re doing this week, looking back at 2024. The single biggest story of the year was the bankruptcy of Audacy. With that complete, it means that all the major radio companies have gone bankrupt in the last 14 years,…

The third new market in a row
That market is Charlotte, NC. This is the only aircheck I have from that market, recorded October 14, 2015. I obtained this clip in a trade with my then only trading partner Bob in Ohio, who likely recorded this in the Charlotte airport on his way back from New Orleans. He sent me a few…

My thoughts on Christmas programming in 2024
This was originally going to be a post comparing radio’s Christmas selection to that of other streaming and music options, but the one station I was going to use appears to be dead, despite still showing up on the Radio Pup app, so I don’t have a sample hour of that station. From what I…

The City I Wasn’t In This Summer
Why do I title my post this? Because it refers to Jacksonville, Florida, where the national convention of the American Council of the Blind was held this summer. It’s also a new market to the site, the second one in as many weeks. This clip was recorded about two and a half years before I…

WSNY June 9, 2015
It’s a new market to the site this week, Columbus, Ohio. This is the first of many airchecks that I received from my first trading partner, though some of the others I’ve already posted I have also received in trades. This one is of WSNY from Columbus, and I don’t remember now what I traded…

WPST July 17, 2015
Sorry this post is late. I’m not sure how updating slipped my mind on Friday, I didn’t even do any holiday shopping. I usually don’t start until after my birthday, which is tomorrow. I was going to post yesterday, but the defining event of that day was upgrading my phone, and by the time I…

How my understanding of radio programming has shaped my concept automation
This is a commentary I have been meaning to write for quite a while, but I’ve been pretty busy the last month, so haven’t done it yet. Over the years, I’ve been playing with the concept of developing my own radio automation system. This concept has evolved over the years. How it has done so…

WPST July 15, 2015
It’s another new market to the site this week, the second one in about a month. This time, we’re traveling to Trenton, NJ where we hear their longtime CHR, WPST. This was recorded during the station’s night show on July 15, 2015. I wanted an aircheck with normal daytime pacing as well, so that’s why…

KMGE June 19, 2014
As I said a couple weeks ago, I wanted a longer aircheck of KMGE, and this one is just that, though it’s not as long as I wanted it to be. This runs about 48 minutes unscoped, the other two are about 30 minutes. The station sounds pretty much as it does in the first…
