Dan Ingram, MusicRadio 77 WABC | June, 1970

Well, here’s yet another gem that turned up in the archives of our biggest Contributor, Big Apple Airchecks. Two things about this aircheck to note. Okay, three. First off, it’s…

K.K. Lovers (Aircheck) // Animal Crossing: New Horizons

[general-radix]

A few days ago, I was looking around to see if anyone had posted airchecks of 104.2 WZYP from 1998 to around '01 or '02. As with most things I try to find, I got recordings adjacent to my targets (other AL stations from that time frame, airchecks of WZYP from the '80s and very early '90s), but not the actual thing I wanted. Three separate instances of Joan Jett's cover of "Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap", though.

I used to listen to WZYP a lot in elementary school, especially when I got my own radios (the first being a combination radio/alarm that only played for thirty minutes before shutting off). The combination of adult contemporary, rock, Latin pop, and EDM they played at the time was unlike whatever I'd been listening to before then, and formative in a way that's hard to explain--not just of my later musical tastes, but through how it intersected with my other interests.

(Alas, from around 2003 forward, everything was a homogeneous blur of FUCKING OBNOXIOUS.)

Being a kid who thought that this was just how WZYP was going to sound forever, I didn't think to record anything more than specific songs. I'm still hoping that someone out there has what I'm looking for, so that this doesn't become yet another wall to futilely bang my ADHD against.

(Incidentally, the main reason I don't listen to other stations much anymore comes down to one thing: I do not like most radio adverts, especially when they're trying to be "cute".)

2017 Blake resigns with Warner   NASHVILLE, Tenn. – (December 21, 2017) – Country music superstar and multimedia entertainer Blake Shelton has long called Warner Bros. / Warner Music Nashville his label home, and last night he inked a deal reaffirming the commitment. Their 17-year partnership has produced accomplishments ranging from 25 No. 1 singles to 10 Gold and Platinum-selling albums, in addition to seven GRAMMY nominations and five CMA Male Vocalist of the Year Award wins. Amongst these other career successes, Shelton’s 2017 Billboard Music Award for Top Country Artist underscores his preeminence in every realm – including album and digital song sales, streaming, radio airplay, touring and social engagement. One of the most visible and constant ambassadors of country music, Shelton has reinforced the genre’s value in front of more than 12 million viewers two nights a week for 13 consecutive seasons and counting as a coach on NBC’s The Voice.

“I remember my first trip to Nashville in 1994,” said Shelton. “I drove down Music Row and don’t know why, but when I passed the Warner Bros. building I said, ‘That’s the label I want to be on!’ Now, all these years later, I’m proud to have spent my entire recording career with such a great company. I look forward to more incredible years with my Warner family.”

The acclaimed recording artist celebrated his resigning yesterday night alongside WMN Chairman & CEO John Esposito, who added: “Blake Shelton is a cornerstone artist for Warner Music Nashville. Blake, Narvel Blackstock and the whole label team put a stake in the ground years ago to prove that Blake was going to do unprecedented things in this business and be the artist to help us bring Warner back to greatness. Blake indeed has and will continue to break new ground. I am thrilled beyond words, and there is no better Christmas present than Blake committing to Warner for many years to come. He is a brother, and I love him and his humanity!”

A staple in the format since his debut in 2001, Shelton’s recommitment demonstrates his unrelenting faithfulness to the country music community. This year showed a similar loyalty to his roots with the release of Texoma Shore. With its traditional-leaning sound and down-home lyrics, the brand new album is his sixth record to debut at No. 1 on the Billboard Top Country Albums chart and 11th all-genre Top 10. Lead single “I’ll Name The Dogs” topped the charts this week at country radio.

His third No. 1 single in 2017 (in addition to “A Guy With A Girl” and “Every Time I Hear That Song”), Shelton’s “I’ll Name The Dogs” wraps a year of unprecedented radio success. In the week following album launch in November, the hit-maker became the first artist in Country Aircheck / Mediabase history to have six songs chart simultaneously. Shelton further proved his continued traction at country radio this week by being named the No.1 most-played artist of 2017. Reigning on both the Billboard and Aircheck year-end airplay charts, the latter also placed “A Guy With A Girl” at No. 3 on its list of 2017’s Top 10 Songs. Shelton will bring these radio favorites and more to fans in 2018 on his headlining “Country Music Freaks” Tour alongside Brett Eldredge, Carly Pearce and special guest Trace Adkins (dates below).

ABOUT BLAKE SHELTON Country Music Association’s 2012 “Entertainer of the Year,” five-time Male Vocalist of the Year winner and GRAMMY nominee Blake Shelton continues to add to his superstar status. He just released his brand new album Texoma Shore, which became his sixth record to debut at No. 1 on the Billboard Top Country Albums chart and marked his 11th all-genre Top 10. Texoma Shore features his latest hit single “I’ll Name The Dogs,” a romantic tune that boasts over 30 million streams and recently became his 25th No. 1 single. In the week following album launch, Shelton became the first artist in Country Aircheck / Mediabase history to have six songs chart simultaneously. Texoma Shore follows 2016’s Gold-certified If I’m Honest, the best-selling country album release of the year, which spawned three chart-topping songs and earned him a No. 1 on both the Billboard Top Country Albums and the all-genre Top Album Sales charts.   A member of the Grand Ole Opry, Shelton has earned a host of awards throughout his career, which most recently include Top Country Artist at the Billboard Music Awards. In 2017 he became the first country artist to win Favorite Album at the People’s Choice Awards in addition to his win for Favorite Male Country Artist. He also took home the trophy for Favorite Country Male Artist at the American Music Awards as well as the first-ever Male Artist of the Year. As a coach for the Emmy Award-winning television show, The Voice, Shelton is a five-time champion, most recently with his contestant Sundance Head.

Liquid Air - Broadcasting March 15th 2024!

Happy to finally announce a release date for my experimental album, Liquid Air!!

Every midnight in the Kootenays, the always-alternative Flipside FM broadcasts a show unlike any other, asking: "What if a radio station could dream?" This aircheck is one of their answers to that question.

It's a fun and relaxing little journey through various synths and nature sounds. I had a lot of fun putting it together, and I can't wait to share it with you all!

See you on March 15th!

Boss Radio 66: Aircheck Of The Week

It’s the summer of 1963, and Terry Knight is one of the top radio personalities in Detroit on WJBK. Knight would later be known as the frontman for Terry Knight & The Pack, who had a minor hit in 1966 with “I Who Have Nothing”. But he is probably best remembered as the man who guided the career of Grand Funk Railroad.

LECTURE 11: BEATLEMANIA GOES GLOBAL: Here is some amazing footage of The Beatles visiting Texas from 1964, mixed together with interviews and authentic radio airchecks from the period. The incredibly awkward interview at 2:03 is particularly memorable, especially when the talk turns to what kind of “girls” the band members prefer. The Dallas press conference is also delightfully amusing, with The Beatles in top form, knocking one-liners out of the ballpark. Clearly, the band members had a rollicking good time in the Lone Star State!
