  • KMPS November 11, 2016

    Today, it’s the second to last installment of KMPS, this time from Veterans Day 2015. Because it’s Veterans Day, and country stations do a lot with patriotism in general, there are definitely acknowledgements of the day that it is, as well as the normal music. This is still in the stations 90s to now phase,…

  • KMPS July 6, 2015

    Today we continue our listen to KMPS. Over the summer of 2015, they adopted a 90s to now approach, but apparently backed off of that rather quickly. One of the big reasons for recording this clip is the legal, which is based off new sister WXTU, which you heard a few months ago. Parent company…

  • KMPS April 2, 2015

    Today we continue with our listen to KMPS, this time fast forwarding about a year and a half, to early April 2015. I had become a site operator for Global Tuners a week or so earlier, but my receiver wasn’t working very well for the first week. When I finally got it working, this was…

  • KMPS September 12, 2013

    Well, there won’t be an updated WSTW aircheck this week. Global Tuners, which is the platform I used for accessing the remote receivers I grabbed most of my airchecks from is in serious decline. I did find another platform with a receiver in the area of that station, but recording is a bit different there,…

  • Power comes to Seattle

    Unfortunately for me, I had to cut my vacation a couple days short. Fortunately for you readers, that means an aircheck that will be posted on time. I meant to scope this ahead of time and get it ready to be posted while I was out of town, but was really busy the previous weekend…

  • KUBE February 14, 2014

    As I said last week, this is the aircheck of KUBE I recorded a month after the one posted last week. While I was focused on heritage stations that didn’t have much tape on them back when I recorded this clip, I am beginning to wonder how much is really out there on some of…

  • KUBE January 14, 2014

    First off, sorry this post is a day late. On Thursday evening, I took my Pin Art apart because one of its pins came out. If you’re not careful which I wasn’t, all the pins come out and need to be put back in, which while not difficult to do, takes all day since there…

  • KPWK June 13, 2016

    As I said last week, this is the only other aircheck I got of 93.3 as Power. This clip isn’t nearly as long as I expected because it was recorded on a cassette that it turns out wasn’t the one I had been looking for. When my sister and I rearranged my room in the…

  • KPWK March 11, 2016

    Over the next few weeks, we will be listening to the 93.3 frequency in Seattle. This week and next, we will be listening to the station as it sounded under its nearly 2.5 year run as CHR Power 93.3. Unfortunately, I only got two airchecks of this station, and as you will hear next week,…

  • As hot off the press as it gets

    Last week, I told you we would be listening to an aircheck of KQMV that hadn’t been recorded yet to finish up our series on that station. This is that aircheck, recorded at about 8:30 P.M. yesterday and which I just got done scoping. I feel like that station has gone down in quality since…
