January 29, 2012
Introductions by Uncle Ricky.

Next week, we must synchronize our Volumes and Issues with the calendar. We will have been online for 16 years on February 12, 2012, and that should be Issue 1 of our 17th year (Volume XVII). So, next week, on February 5th, we'll observe our annual "NO_HITBOUND" issue. The following week, on Sunday February 12th, we'll celebrate our birthday with an AIRCHECK CHANNEL streaming surprise and special discounts for renewals, new subscriptions and mobile time.

KFRC San Francisco Big 610 1986 Pt.15 (410-393)

As Bill Lee wraps up his portion of The KFRC Big 610 Countdown, he welcomes Candi Chamberlain. And, Bill says something very inappropriate to Candi, but you'll have to listen carefully. Thanks to The Scott Rayer Collection!

Pat St. John, WPLJ-FM New York, NY July 12 1987

WPLJ/Power 95 sounds pretty good in 1987, after years of battling that other FM. It seems they've gotten serious. Long-time New York radio vet Pat St. John speaks for less than 60 seconds in this entire 44-minute aircheck. There's a 'scoped version, too. Thanks for this GOLDEN GIFT goes to our long-time friend Wayne Scott.

"... Todd (Storz) and some others were sitting around figuring out what they could do on their station and they noticed that WDSU had a program called the Top 20. And they thought if the Top 20 was successful, that the Top 40 would be even better - and that's what they said - We're going to be twice as good as WDSU 'cause we're gonna play - The Top 40."
