AIRCHECK GALLERY


For the uninitiated, an "aircheck" is not what the Bush/Whitman EPA no longer does. No, sirree --  this is actual audio of my actual radio shows, with the actual music cut out, so you can hear why it actually is that people hate disc jockeys!

Simply click on the RealPlayer links on each Aircheck Page to hear MEEEeeeee! Whether you use dial-up or have a cool high-speed broadband connection to the Disinformation Supertollway, the latest RealPlayer will make your stereophonic listening experience an enjoyable one!

Or...you can click the MP3 icons, and your little machine will download a temp file which will play back with the full fidelity of, er, MP3 files. Or you can right-click on the MP3 icons, and actually save the file for years of sentimental enjoyment of your very own Famous Amos aircheck! Or you can ditch this whole website and go looking for that XXX stuff that's gonna get you fried with your company someday soon...

"New York's Jammin' Oldies," as has happened so often, was one cool moment in the ongoing Radio History of New York City. It was pretty exciting to be part of the only other NYC oldies station there's ever been...other than The Big One (is invoking 101.1 WCBS-FM like saying "Oscar" without permission?). And as for them...welcome to probably the only daypart that ever beat 101.1 in the ratings, 25-54! Hey, we had some fun. Here's some of it now...enjoy! Jammin 105: WTJM/New York!
It's the FAMOUS AMOS VOICEOVER DEMO!This is mainly for "industry" people, who are tired of paying Don LaFontaine, Charlton Heston, and Anita Bonita those Big Industry Bucks to do voiceovers, commercials, and what we lovingly call "sweepers." Will work for bandwidth.
B-103 is a small Oldies station on Long Island. They have a tradition of occasionally inviting air talents from New York who are "available" (ahem) to do guest shifts out in the boonies. My thanks to their well-known and highly respected former program director, my good friend Rick Martini, for dragging me out to scenic Melville to shock the suburban contingent of my true Radio believers!  B-103: WBZO/Bay Shore!
WQSR/Baltimore! One of the most successful and highest-rated Oldies stations in the country is Infinity's WQSR in Baltimore (one of my fave cities). 'QSR has been home to such luminous air talents as Bob Worthington, Steve Rouse, and Ken "The Merson Person." Click the icon to the left to join the party.
Once upon a time, when FM station owners ... get this ... actually tried to make something different and successful out of that skanky AM station in the broom closet in the back, Phoenix's KOOL-FM built an entire network out of one radio station, which played great rock 'n' roll that was slowly passing out of the mainstream. I joined KOOL GOLD in 1994, as it bravely breathed its last, and even more bravely, they put me in afternoon drive (on KOOL-AM in Phoenix and KCBQ in San Diego; in Detroit, it was night already!) Do not expect your basic Oldies station here! KOOL GOLD
