  Curator’s Notes:

For his first time on 92 KTU, Dan Ingram appears a little… lost. He’s just not himself, the confident and outrageously funny guy everyone remembered from WABC.…

Aircheck Courtesy of Big Apple Airchecks This one goes back nearly to the beginning of what would be one of the most famous Top 40 radio stations in the world. Dan Ingram held down Afternoon Drive on WABC for most of the 22 years of it’s existence as a music station, and here you can listen to how he sounded in the early days of the WABC music format. The jingles in use here, I believe are from…

 WABC 77 New York – Bob Cruz – February 26 1980 Most jocks are hired because of how they sound, or what they can do on air. 77 WABC hired Bob Cruz for a very different reason. Cruz was hired because of WHO he sounded like. The Story goes something like this. WABC Program Director Rick Sklar was listening to tapes sent to WABC, from DJs around the country who wanted to work at WABC. He…

From Contributor Frank Davis comes this unique ‘almost disco’ recording of MusicRadio 77 from April 10, 1979. Legend has it that WABC went Disco for one week. Well, first off, we’re not entirely sure of which week in ’79 that was, or if it was exactly one week or longer. One thing is for certain, this recording from the second week of April features nearly ALL disco music, with the exception of…

Every so often, its important to take a break and just LAUGH! This isn’t just a great aircheck from the heyday of CBS-FM, it’s hilarious!

Listen for the CBS-FM “Oldies” era jingles, and some imaging I haven’t heard on any of the CBS-FM airchecks…

Dan Ingram, MusicRadio 77 WABC | May 9, 1975

Over the years, we’ve heard lots of WABC airchecks. And there’s a lot of Dan Ingram stuff out there. It’s RARE to find something new, never posted before and even more rare to hear something restored as this one is! One of Contributor Bob Gilmore’s hobbies is re-engineering old mono 45 rpm records from the 1950s & 60s and turning them into remastered stereo recordings. Taking that one step…
