February 3, 1980 WLW - Cincinnati

from Retro Radio - Classic radio air checks from the 70s and 80s · host Mike Weber - CMR Studios

It's February 3, 1980, a Sunday afternoon in Cincinnati. The weather is cold, gas prices are climbing, the Iran hostage crisis is underway, President Carter has submitted his new budget, in sports there's basketball. Here's an aircheck of part of that 6 hour show that day. Yes, an actual live person on the air that long with no satellite feed. Even so, I was the only person there, doing it all, and in complete control of a 50,000 watt radio station. It still amazes me that they trusted me that much.
