KKZX July 25, 2012
Back in 2012, I was mainly focused on recording IDs for Tophour.com, which is why some of these early airchecks are so short. Even though KKZX, along with the rest of the Spokane market, had just been updated the previous November, the KKZX and KEZE recordings were extremely distorted, so my objective was to get…

The CBS Amp Radio brand never did much for me, even though rhythmic-leaning CHR is typically what I gravitated towards. That being said, I had heard from a few sources that Amp Radio 98.7 in Detroit also used the Reel World 1 jingle package I liked. Despite lots of stations dropping it in more recent…

KUPL February 4, 2025
As I said last week, today’s clip comes from the same station we’ve been listening to, 98.7 KUPL, still known as The Bull. Although the lineup has changed since this was recorded, the imaging is still similar.

KUPL January 16, 2015
Last week, we heard 98.7 KUPL and its current 98.7 The Bull identity as heard in July 2014. This week, it’s the same station, this time in evenings instead of mid-days in January 2015. Next week, we jump forward to February of this year. How has the station evolved? We will answer that question next…

KUPL July 16, 2014
As I’ve said before, when I started seriously recording in 2013-14, a major focus of my recording was trying to get stations which have been in their format for some time but I couldn’t find any recordings of. This station definitely fits that bill, having gone country in 1984. Although this aircheck has been traded…

WKJY September 25, 2015
Last week, we heard Long Island’s K98.3, WKJY from July 3, 2014. At that time, WALK 97.5 and WKJY were competitors, but had become co-owned by the time this aircheck was recorded. That’s why the September 15, 2015 aircheck of that station exists, and that’s why this one exists. I wanted to get an idea…

WKJY July 3, 2014
Sometimes, it takes a controversy to discover a radio station. In the case of heritage WKJY, it had something to do with comments that one of the morning hosts made. At this point, I don’t remember what those comments were, but in looking into WKJY’s history, I found that it had been in its current…

KISC July 21, 2012
Today, it’s back to my long stay in Spokane in 2012. At the time, my goal was to update tophour.com, which is why a lot of these clips are so short. Even though one of the contributors had been through Spokane just six months earlier, there were quite a few changes in the following months,…

WNCI June 9, 2015
In December 2014, I found two airchecks of the heritage CHR in Columbus, WNCI, on the now defunct Aircheck Downloads. Although the station sounded rather automated, I liked what I heard. When the opportunity appeared for me to get this aircheck, I took it. Unfortunately, they changed the jingle used on the legal in this…

WKSL April 8, 2016
Sorry this clip is late, I had a tight schedule to keep yesterday and posting here was the last thing on my mind, though the way the afternoon went it could have easily been done. Several months ago, we heard Jacksonville’s legendary WAPE, but I had not heard its longtime competitor, 97.9 Kiss FM. That…
