  • KEZE August 2, 2012

    Today, it’s the second of our three airchecks of Hot 96.9, KEZE from Spokane. This legal was recorded at 7:00 P.M. and I did not realize the station had a countdown at that hour. So, next week, we’ll hear the normal legal.

  • KEZE August 1, 2012

    I believe this is a new market for the site, Spokane WA. I was here in July and August 2012 for a summer program, and it was the market where I first got serious about recording airchecks. As I’ve mentioned before, I was mainly focusing on getting legal IDs at the time, and Tophour’s Bill…

  • WTDY January 21, 2025

    We conclude our listen to Philadelphia’s WTDY under its current New 96.5 identity. The station shifted back to Hot AC last fall after being CHR for a few years following the acquisition of WBEB. I’m not exactly sure when the shift happened, sometime after the last clip was recorded. Next week, we cross the country…

  • WTDY July 30, 2018

    As I said last week, we’re taking a listen to the next in a series of brands on 96.5 in Philadelphia. Last week, it was the new AC approach as Today’s 96.5, this week it’s Hot AC trying to be CHR 96.5 TDY. The station would apparently morph back into full on CHR, though I…

  • WTDY January 27, 2017

    As I said last week, the clip posted last week was recorded near the end of the Amp format on 96.5 Philadelphia. What was unknown to anyone at the time was that in early January 2017, the station would flip to AC as Today’s 96.5 WTDY. This clip was recorded a couple of weeks after…

  • WZMP November 23, 2016

    As promised last week, we’re hearing the 96.5 frequency in Philadelphia this week under its CHR Amp Radio format. What was unknown to me and pretty much everyone at the time is that about six weeks later, the station would go AC as Today’s 96.5, which we will hear next week.

  • WRDW March 31, 2015

    While we’ve listened to many stations already on this site recorded with the Global Tuners recorder, this is the first one that I actually was able to record using that method. Before then, I had to use Stereo Mix on my computer to record what GT was playing. This aircheck is Philadelphia’s 96.5 WRDW, in…

  • KYPT April 23, 2003

    Today, it’s the second in our two installments of 80s hits 96.5 The Point KYPT Seattle. About the only two differences between this aircheck and the one posted last week are that this one is hosted and the CNN Radio updates are gone.

  • KYPT April 6, 2003

    It must have been Spring 2000 when we discovered 96.5 had flipped from Young Country to 80s hits as 96.5 The Point. What I do remember is that at age six, I thought the new KYPT was much better than the 50s/60s oldies on KBSG. The station would remain a favorite for a couple of…

  • WDVD July 17, 2016

    Today we take a listen to a heritage station in Detroit, WDVD. I recorded this because I haven’t found any airchecks of that station. This comes at a difficult time in my personal life. I was struggling with depression at the time, but was feeling good this day because I had been to my favorite…
