KDWB-AM (1962 / 1963) - Radio Aircheck - 26 degrees below zero! (Minneapolis/ St. Paul)
Ойын-сауық
In these KDWB (Minneapolis/St. Paul) radio airchecks from February 1962 and January 1963, DJ Don DuChene was working the overnight Midnight to 6:00AM shift… keeping the energy level high, the Fab Forty tunes cranking, and providing full news reports for all the night owls in the Twin Cities! And it was cold in the early morning of 1/15/1963... 26 degrees below zero!
Don DuChene was a radio disc jockey in the Midwest U.S. from the late 1950s to the early 1970s. In the early-to-mid 1960s, Don had a popular show on KDWB (AM 630) in Minneapolis/ St. Paul. In the Fall of 1965, his show moved to KSTP-AM 1500 where he worked through the end of the decade. Don wrapped up his Twin Cities radio career at KQRS in the early 1970s. The 1960s and early 1970s were a quickly evolving time for rock n roll and pop culture. These tapes are a peek into that time and the heyday of old-school American radio.

Don Duchene was unknown to me as a deejay when I took his class in Minneapolis to get my FCC First Class licence in 1972. He was one of the nicest, kindest people I encountered at Brown Institute of Broadcasting. The license got me to my first job, but a few short years later the FCC changed the rules to make the license virtually worthless since nobody needed a license anymore. The experience was worth it.

Thanks very much for your comment! Don loved his students and he loved teaching at Brown Institute, both in Minneapolis and in Ft. Lauderdale.

I certainly don’t miss those cold Minnesota winters! 🥶😱
Wonder if when the weather got that cold, the transmitter building had to be heated? Twenty-six below is awfully cold for a transmitter to operate. This is before solid state, when tubes were in every transmitter, and all had cooling blowers in them for the tubes.
I remember that day!

gripping excitement.
It was the same frigid temperature in Cincinnati Ohio in January of 1977 which froze the Ohio River. The wind chill and heating crisis made it miserable the wind was blowing over 40 to 50 MPH. My hands got chapped.
What a pro! Thanks.
Oops, forgot to add that I walked to the bus stop that morning!
WAS THIS JANUARY OF 63,OR JANUARY 62 ??
