KQMV November 8, 2015
In general, I try to record for between 50 and 75 minutes because that’s enough to get an overview of what a station is going to sound like. For various reasons, I have some that are longer and some that are shorter, but that’s what I aim for. I also find clips of that length…

KQMV August 13, 2014
I honestly can’t remember why I recorded this aircheck. My best guess is that it was the same day as I decided to record 95.7, which had just relaunched as the Jet, but I wasn’t done with what I was doing on my computer yet so recorded this. This is the lunch hour that day,…

KQMV September 12, 2013
Today’s aircheck comes from the station we’ve been listening to for a few weeks now, KQMV Seattle. This was recorded on September 12, 2013. I mentioned last week that the aircheck in that post was recorded using the mic jack of the computer, this one is recorded using my computer’s line in, from the headphone…

KQMV November 11, 2012
By the time I recorded this aircheck, I had been using my Olympus recorder for some time, plugging one end of a chord into the headphone jack of whatever I was using and the other end into the mic jack of my recorder. I figured that doing the same thing with my computer would work,…

KQMV August 27, 2012
This aircheck is one of only 16 in my collection that I recorded on cassette, though I converted it to digital almost right away. The only reason I did that was because I had a bunch of cassettes from previous things that didn’t contain anything I wanted, so recorded over them. It’s not evident here,…

KLSY August 16, 1996
Throughout most of my early remembered life, I always thought KLSY was the better of the two Adult Contemporary stations in Seattle, though I wouldn’t learn that term until I started following the radio industry in 2008. By that time, 92.5 had been Rhythmic AC for over two years. Today, I can’t find a station…

WWKA February 23, 2017
When I got a CC Witness+ for Christmas in 2016, I figured I’d be doing a lot more recording with it than I have so far. I had actually asked for it the year before, but it wasn’t available. This was its first real test, as I asked my parents to take it on their…

WNOW April 29, 2014
In 2009, CBS Radio kicked off the second CHR boom with the flip of talk station KLSX to a new Amp Radio brand. Ironically, that station was also the last of the Amp stations to go away, and after a few months as 97.1 Now, the station flipped to a simulcast of all news KNX.…

KGON March 19, 2024
As I teased last week, we hear a normal aircheck of KGON this week, recorded just a few days ago. In fact, I just got done scoping it, as I really haven’t had time to until now. As we hear, their 50th anniversary celebration is a year-long event. This also begins a chapter in my…

KGON celebrates 50 years on the air
As I said last week, in addition to going for legal IDs to put up on Tophour, I had also been looking to record stations that had been around a long time. In mid-January, we got word that on February 1, KGON would celebrate its 50th anniversary on the air on February 1. So, here’s…
