KPLZ October 25, 2024
Today, we take a listen to KPLZ again. Last week, we heard the format change as the station went from Star to Hank. This week, it’s several months later, when I was in the market for the WCB convention. Also, sorry this aircheck is late. I didn’t have time to scope it until the morning…

KPLZ April 1, 2024
It wasn’t an April Fools joke, April 1, 2024 really did mark the end of the Star brand and Hot AC format on 101.5 in Seattle after 30 years. This recording was made off the station’s stream as I am no longer in the market. Unfortunately, I do not have any other clips of the…

KPLZ February 4, 2017
On November 17, 2016 I woke up to KPLZ branding as 101.5 Santa FM playing Christmas music. on December 26, the station retooled with a new imaging package and the addition of a few 80s tracks back into the playlist. I also happened to receive the CC Witness for Christmas that year, so this is…

KPLZ November 7, 2015
Today, it’s another aircheck from KPLZ, this one featuring weekend afternoon jock Paul Thomson. I recorded this as part of a longer clip I no longer have. I figured I only wanted to save part of that clip, and this was it. Next week, it’s another KPLZ aircheck. I’m not sure which one yet, it…

KPLZ June 24, 2014
Today, it’s another KPLZ aircheck. This time, we travel forwared in time almost two years. The imaging in this aircheck is new since the last aircheck, and that’s exactly why I wanted this one. That imaging, along with dropping the John Tesh Radio Show in evenings, had appeared earlier that week. Here, we hear longtime…

KPLZ August 22, 2012
As promised, today we feature a longer KPL?Z aircheck. This also was recorded earlier in the day, about 6:30 as opposed to about 8:45. Last week’s aircheck was recorded about two weeks before I graduated high school, this one recorded about two months after.

KPLZ June 1, 2012
Today, it’s a brief aircheck of KPLZ, Star 101.5, from June 1, 2012. A longer aircheck will appear here next week. I think this is the first of only a couple extremely brief airchecks, which I recorded on some old 15 minute per side cassettes early in my recording history.

WBEB July 14, 2015
Sorry this is several days late. My mind has been kind of all over the place lately. As promised, this is the last WBEB aircheck I have. This was before the station started streaming, but I had access to a Global Tuners radio. This ended up being a lot longer than I expected, as I…

WBEB February 18, 2015
Today, we continue with the WBEB airchecks. After Christmas 2013, the station rebranded as 101.1 More FM while remaining largely unchanged otherwise. This is the first aircheck of the station I recorded on my own, the others have been received in trades. I’m still hoping to get unscoped versions of the others I downloaded from…

WBEB June 125, 2013
As I said last week, WBEB was often the top-rated station in Philadelphia for much of the 2000s and early 2010s. Even today, it’s still consistently top 5. Until September 2018, the station was independently owned, and did not stream until mid-2017. Because of those two factors, I wanted every aircheck of the station I…
