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…

KNRQ May 11, 2013
Today, we return to a market we haven’t been to in a while, Eugene, OR. This is from the period when I was simply going for legal IDs, so this aircheck only runs about 4 minutes unscoped. This is of the market’s long running alternative station, 97.9 KNRQ. Later in the year, the format would…

WWXM July 23, 2014
Sorry this is late, I was in Seattle yesterday, and didn’t realize my site was down until late last night. This aircheck I got in a trade when I was actively trading in 2014. Although scoped in this aircheck, some of the ads in this clip are some of my favorites. It’s also another new…

WALK September 15, 2015
As promised last week, we have an updated aircheck of WALK. After Clear Channel sold it, it became co-owned with competitor WKJY, which we will hear in a few weeks. Surprisingly, at that time, the stations still sounded incredibly similar. I think WKJY eventually went soft, but it’s been a while since I gave both…
