Aircheck Of The Week

 

Los Angeles gets its first taste of the format that would change Top 40 radio forever, with a sneak preview of the new streamlined sound of Boss Radio KHJ. Short acappella  jingles, short breaks, and a lack of clutter were the hallmarks of the Boss Radio sound. This was originally a scoped composite, but I've restored all of the music for a better listening experience.

Aircheck Of The Week

 

This is a demo for "Love", a syndicated progressive rock format designed by Allen Shaw for ABC's owned-and-operated FM stations, including WABC-FM/New York. The format featured personalities like Brother John Rydgren, Bob (Bob-A-Loo) Lewis, Jimmy Rabbitt, and Tony Pigg. This demo was produced in April, 1968, although Love did not hit the air until January, 1969. The demo was originally produced with all of the songs scoped. I've restored the full-length versions of every song.
