Aircheck Of The Week

 

This is a very condensed (but unscoped) look at a full broadcast day for New York's legendary WNEW-FM in 1971. The lineup included Pete Fornatale, Jonathan Schwartz, Scott Muni, Rosko, and Alison Steele. Originally a scoped sales demo, I've restored all of the music in glorious Metromedia Stereo. If you were listening to FM album rock in the early 70s, this is as good as it gets.
