I remember them best as Selma's soul station. That radio station produced a lot of great talent, during their Soul days. Some of those people still work in Selma at WBFZ and WJAM. Great post and clip. Loved it.

P.S. My love for Soul music was discovered though this outlet. Such singers as Aretha Franklin, Stevie Wonder, Johnny Taylor, Bobby Blue Bland and a new sensation Janet Jackson, would grace their airwaves and I would listen and get high off these people. It was here where my addiction to Soul/Mass Choir Gospel would come from.

An interesting listen indeed! Paxton is game on. He's not just talking to hear himself. He has something to say. I would have suspected a news person versus a rip and read jock delivered newscast. Nice to hear that slight echo and to hear teletype. In that time, I would have been a pretty avid listener. Then again, listening these days, this wasn't great radio. It sounds too thrown together. I've worked stations like that: a good concept but mixed with all the elements, it's more like a tossed salad where concept takes a back seat as you just get through it as close as you can get to 'concept' but always too busy to figure out how to pull it off flawlessly.
I was somewhat amazed at how diverse the music was. You'd expect The Who might be more 'dayparted' to get more at work listening. I noted more R&B crossover, something I thought was a smart thing given the demographics.
The commercials had a sameness about them. There didn't seem to be much creativity in production or copywriting. With that said, the ads were more 'to the point' versus the flowery, not say much of anything content of the 1950s and early 1960s evident in so many spots then.
What seemed 'out of place' was phrases like "The most music" when there was something between every song (usually commercials or 20/20 news).
For the nostalgia level, I'll give it a 10
