Aircheck Of The Week

 

This is part two of our look back to October, 1966, and the first day of live programming on WOR-FM/New York, the nation’s first commercial radio station to play rock music on the FM band. Personalities heard on part 2 are Scott Muni and Murray The K. This was originally a scoped aircheck, but I’ve restored all of the music for a better listening experience.

Aircheck Of The Week

 

WOR-FM/New York was the first commercial FM station to play rock music. This is WOR-FM’s first day on the air with live talent (the station had been running jockless for 4 months due to a labor dispute). Personalities included Scott Muni, Johnny Michaels, Murray The K, and Rosko. This is the first of a three part series. Part 2 will arrive next Monday, October 9.

Recorded by Gary Liebisch as a scoped aircheck. I’ve restored all the music so you can listen in real time as you would have in 1966.
