  • KKRZ January 31. 2015

    I actually wasn’t going to keep this aircheck initially, but I cut it down slightly and ended up keeping it. I recorded this one Saturday while out doing grocery shopping. I wanted this to be the longest aircheck of the station recorded from that equipment, but that didn’t end up quite being the case.

  • KKRZ October 18, 2014

    We’re continuing our listen to KKRZ today. This is the first aircheck you will hear from me actually being in the market, as this was recorded when I was going to school here during the 2014-15 school year. We have three more airchecks to go from this period, one from January 2015, one from February…

  • KKRZ March 28, 2014

    I honestly didn’t intend for this aircheck to be so long, but I was waiting for the jock to say his name, which it became fairly clear he was not going to do. I later found out his name is Maui, but that wouldn’t happen in this clip. It’s one of the longer clips I…

  • KKRZ September 17, 2013

    First off, I need to apologize for seemingly being asleep on the job the last couple weeks. I’ve been distracted with some other stuff, so this site has been a low priority. Fortunately, I’m getting back into a normal routine. As we have been over the last few weeks, we’re continuing our listen to KKRZ.…

  • KKRZ September 4, 2013

    This week, it’s more Z100, with the same jock as last week. I was a bit time constrained with last week’s aircheck, but not this one as this is a full hour.

  • KKRZ August 8, 2013

    I feel like there’s at least one station that really sounds good scoped in every market, or at least there used to be. Although Z100 Portland is a bit on the automated side, I feel like it fits that profile. That’s one of the reasons this clip exists, in addition to attempting to bring the…

  • Not that Z100

    When you hear Z100, unless you’re in a market that has one of its own, you’re probably thinking New York. I don’t have any of that station, and really have no desire to obtain any at this time because recordings of it are so widely available. Portland’s KKRZ, also using the Z100 name, is far…

  • KRKT May 13, 2013

    Today, we revisit 2013, when I was recording very short clips, focused on the legal ID. This one comes from 99.9 KRKT, which rimshots Eugene. I’m honestly not sure whether its target market is Salem or Eugene, especially with another country station in the same cluster now. If I get back there at some point,…

  • WZPL November 13, 2014

    Today, we hear an aircheck of 99.5 WZPL from Indianapolis. It had been a while since I had heard this station, and honestly I hadn’t been impressed, but decided to give this one a try again. WZPL has always been one of these stations I’ve felt does things a little differently. I can’t decide whether…

  • WYCD July 17, 2016

    Today, we return to a market we haven’t visited in a while, Detroit. WYCD has been in the country format for decades, yet like a lot of country stations, there isn’t much tape on it. This was still around the time I was trying to get as much tape on heritage stations as possible. It…
