Aircheck Of The Week

 

It’s November 10, 1965, the morning after the blackout that left the entire Eastern seaboard in the dark. New York City’s first Morning Mayor, WABC’s Herb Oscar Anderson helps the city make sense of what happened. This was originally a scoped aircheck. I’ve restored the music in order to recreate the real-time listening experience.

Aircheck Of The Week

 

This is B. Mitchel Reed, former WMCA Good Guy who spent most of his career in Los Angeles. Like Scott Muni and Murray The K, Reed was a fast talking bells-and-whistles Top 40 DJ, who took on a more laid-back and thoughtful delivery when he migrated to the FM band. Listen to BMR's early experiments with progressive rock on L.A.'s KFWB-AM in 1967.
