The Jukebox: Bonus Clip (“’70s at 7 Trivia Challenge”)

“’70s at 7,” hosted by Mike Saffran, on “Oldies 98.9”/WKLX-FM (98.9), Rochester, N.Y. Originally aired July 27, 1996. (Bonus Clip)Special note: It was an especially fun “’70s at 7 Trivia Challenge” call-in contest the time I asked listeners which Rochester professional sports franchise Royle Stillman had played for in the 1970s: the Amerks (hockey), Lancers (soccer), Red Wings (baseball) or Zeniths (basketball); and I took a few callers before getting a winner. (Answer: Royle Stillman — who had the nickname “Sugarbat” — played for the Red Wings [1973–1976]; he was inducted into the Red Wings Hall of Fame in 2014.]Aside: Before recently coming across this clip (which is part of this week’s earlier full podcast episode), I had remembered this specific contest and looked forward to eventually finding it on a full aircheck. Before hearing it again for the first time in around 30 years, however, my recollection had been that I received three callers with incorrect answers (“Amerks,” “Lancers” and “Zeniths”) before finally getting one with the right response. Thus, either I had a false memory, or I didn’t actually play back each of the wrong answers (possibly due to editing time constraints). In any case, I believe it was one of the overall more entertaining on-air contests — particularly given the two callers aired with incorrect responses (which, I think, added to the fun! :-)All content (radio aircheck, audio podcast – all components, and show notes): © Michael J.
