Radio was so different back then. Song... announcement... commercial... song... announcement... commercial. I guess the ten-in-a-row-commercial-free hadn't been invented yet. Love the nostalgia... and the education about the history of radio.

The magnificent album version of "Ain't No Mountain High Enough"

Anyone who Longs for a time machine this is about the closest we will probably get! These are fantastic highly recommended!

The opening day of the 1970 NFL season! Thanks for posting!

Thank you so much for sharing these wonderful airchecks.

Was living in Willard Ohio as a 2 yr old in September. Hard to believe Judy in Disguise came out around the time I was born. I enjoy these 70s radio programs.

So sad that radio DJ's are a lost art.

Thanks for posting Rockford , a real treasure trove. I wonder if that Rick Nelson song in the first quarter , inspired ; Rod Stewarts You Turks , track.

Love the Stone Bowers Buick commercials featuring Tony Hatch's instrumental version of "Call Me" which actually is best appreciated by listening to it in its entirety.

Awesome. I was negative 5 at this time.. 😂😂

Do you have any old WKNT later WNIR from Kent, OH, WHK from Cleveland with Gary Dee and Joe Finan as well as WMMS in Cleveland too, WHBC in Canton, OH, WTIG in Massillon, OH, and WAKR and WHLO in Akron, OH? Those would be great. Thank

Great to hear the songs that aren't represented on focus-group-driven, revisionist-history oldies radio. And where the heck did that edit of Green-Eyed Lady come from??!! Never heard that version, it's neither the LP version or the 45 edit!!

Man that album version is like being gently consumed by fire. And when the song hits that key change I swear I'm levitating to the heavens above.

Was radio recordings

The day of my birth. Gosh I'm old, lol.

What time should we start this playback if we wish the timechecks to be correct? I think 6-30

Was WHK still a thing at this time?

Celebrity deaths weren't the media obsession they are now. Rock & Roll deaths especially were only lightly touched on; Jimi, Janis, Jim Morrison weren't even mentioned in my hometown newspaper! Rock music was still thought of as kids' music, and not of interest to the adult population. Jim Croce's plane crash in 1973 got a short paragraph in the paper, and he was popular with all ages, and at the peak of his career!
