Aircheck Of The Week

 

Boss had a moment in 1965. Boss Radio was the new game in town for Boss Angeles, as a revolutionary new radio format made its first big splash at 93/KHJ. Soon, the sound spread across the country at stations like CKLW, WOR-FM, and KFRC. This is the original sales demo KHJ used shortly after Boss Radio's launch. The demo was originally telescoped, but I've restored all of the music to give you the optimum listening experience. It's May, 1965 at Boss Radio 66.
