Here's a good one.

Many comments by L. Russell Brown, the composer.

BTW, this predates the Doors, and they did steal the guitar riffs done by Brown from "C'mon Marianne" in "Touch Me".

She sent him my email. She's going to talk to him about it tonight. He lives in the Sterling Heights area, so if it's the antenna farm area, that's great I would think.

I graduated from high school in 1977, but I've been able to appreciate some current music, thanks to restaurant radio, Amazon Prime, and Saturday Night Live. My 2000s playlist on Amazon Prime includes these artists: Colby Caillat (Coco album) Katy Perry (a few singles and several album cuts, includ...

The Mills Brothers sang about something similar in 1968.

Just heard WGVU 1480 playing "Sugar Town" by Nancy Sinatra. Confirmed ID by Listen Live.

I know someone who had a First Phone years ago, but never worked in Broadcasting. He does maintenance on cellular and other radio utility installations as I recall. I used to work with his significant other. I can ask her if he's interested. So that would be part time 5-8 hours a week. Is there a lo...

I remember seeing the array when we went to that area on vacation. A few miles south of the array was a building that beacons as porch lights. I assume it was the original studio?

Or maybe they bought them from that Elrod fellow who cuts the towers down of stations he doesn't like.

Here are a lot of stories and interviews with Chicago Area Radio Stations in 1979. They interviewed Larry Lujack, and mentioned John Landecker and others mentioned in this thread in this Chicago Tribune Tabloid Section. https://www.americanradiohistory.com/Archive-Station-Albums/Chicago-Trib-1979-Ma...

I assume this was a Cumulus DJ who made the joke, since he probably would have been in trouble if he publicly criticized a fellow Townsquare DJ.

CKNX is one of the oldest radio stations in Canada. It was started by a man named Doc Cruikshank. He owned a radio store in the town and decided the best way to increase sales would be to start up a local radio station. CKNX moved to 920 from 1200 and briefly 1230 circa 1941. They probably would ha...

John Landecker WLS hands down. Now, if some parents had only had the foresight to give the middle name "Compact Discs" to their kid who grew up to be an 80s or 90s CHR Jock. Apparently, John Landecker thought his father's initials were WLS, instead of WSL, and he aspired to work at The Big 89, one ...

You may have mentioned it before.

I remember hearing CKNX 920 back in 1967 near Harrisville, MI.

1 kHz tone with color bar test pattern.

Very soon after we got our first TV in 1956, on one Sunday Morning, a religious broadcast appeared on Channel 8 with little noise or interference, but no ID was given. It could have been WOOD-TV or WJW-TV, but there was something different about it, and I later wondered if it was CKNX-TV. It faded o...
