  • 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…

    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,…

    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…
