89.5 - 35 years ago this day

Whoa....THAT was a TRIP!.........
 
Notes re this check:
=====================
- KNHC was at 320 watts directional stereo here,
just before they increaed to 1,500 watts directional 2-months later -

-Shook was only 16 at this time/went on to work at Tacoma radio (KTAC/KNBQ) in the early 80's,
now 51 and online at:
http://twitter.com/knhcradio


-That Hale football promo was voiced by the late/great Mike Dennistoun,
who also worked at KVI from time-to-time then; he died in 2005 from being asleep during a house fire

-The top of the hour and Beatles 'Day in the Life' ID's were done by a guy named Scott Giever,
who was their student station manager and went on to work as a record promoter for Warner Bros

-'KNHC SIZE' spot is voiced by a guy named Rolf Jacobson - who was the inventor of 'SuperChess' years ago
and now works for Snohomish County in some dept

-Not sure who did the 'Ladies and Gentlemen' with that drumroll - sounds like an outside professional

What surprised me the most was even back then, KNHC sounded LIGHT YEARS beyond any other high school radio station.....then and now.....I still say KNHC is the very BEST example of tax dollars spent wonderfully RIGHT......
 
...and don't forget Shellie Hart (KUBE)
 
Burl Barer/KNHC - early 1974 -
- only the first minute/ in MONO (for now)

http://www.twiturm.com/ugdee

**(note when Burl says '..of the radio industry..' you hear a thump/click sound before Poco..
..that's the Gates turntable toggle-switch you'd flick (or even gently 'slap') down to start the cued record)
 
And this was easy to find.
Dec. 1969 KNHC started on 1210 am first just over 1/4 watt if that...Then fm @ 10 watts Jan.'71....
The 10 watt I remember, (C)=Cleveland High was suppose share but never did. Don't know the politics behind that. We even had a sort-of studio .

Here's a dilly:

April 1975/Hale Baseball on KNHC - (in mono/scoped - 3:22):

http://www.twiturm.com/trpxm

A young Mike West is heard at the start with a self-produced jingle
from Kraftwerk's 'Autobahn' - and is also heard on an intro for a
sports interview show they had called 'In Focus '75'...

...tape hissy, some scuzz and 'muffle' -esp during the edited interview

I hope the rest of your facts are more accurate than your math. The early 80's are about 25 years ago, not 35. Somebody aged 16 in the early 80's would now be 41 (up to about 44 or 45.)

But definitely not 51.

So the headline on this thread has been wrong for about a month!

**clearing the air:

Yes, the early 80's ARE 25 years ago...
..that was a side note referring to Shook's radio resume, who is also a friend of mine;
- statement wasn't referring to the actual 'aircheck' - which 'WAS' 35 years ago.

If it threw you off, excuse

I AGREE there ARE more 'relevant' radio happenings, but also radio questions -
- like WHEN will C89 will start broadcasting in their NEW studios at Hale?

Nobody seems to know just yet, and these airchecks 'HONOR'
what KNHC has given to the community over the years now that they are starting anew

..not alot of checks, but certainly some rare ones here;
not out to continously making threads into 'aircheck factories' - thanks
 
I just spoke with the man...

He doesn't want ANYTHING TO DO with this website/boards because
of slanderous posts about him in the past, and he respectfully requests
to the moderators that you delete this entire thread soon - thank you

Contact him at http://twitter.com/knhcradio - if necessary
 
Granted in the 80's and early 90's Seattle Schools used to have a tiger by the tail with KNHC, turning out some real, sucessful large-market ready talent. Like anything in life however, things change. Who was the most recent professional that came out of the program, and when was that?

Perhaps the school district should evaluate whether certain performance goals are in order for production of job-ready persons from the program. Do they even have professionals actually teaching students about broadcasting with a real curriculum, or has the program evolved into a sand-box?
