More All-Hit 98.9 audio...

This is a 53.2 MB partially scoped MP3 of the final two hours of the CHR format on WHTS. I removed commercials and all but 10-15 seconds of each song, leaving promos, sweepers and (of course) jock breaks. You will also hear one instance of Clear Channel cross-promoting Mix 96 as a station for listeners to turn to.

Enjoy.

Red Hot Brian Scott's show featured several interviews with current and former staff, plus a number of old Power 98.9 sweepers and promos. I intend to sift through the rest of my recordings from yesterday, including his show, within the next couple of days and post more audio.

That's awesome! Thanks Tim!

Was there dead air in between? If not, does someone have the flip?

Re: More All-Hit 98.9 audio...

Actually the station was dead air for about an hour after 98.9 ended their broadcast. Then the station was off the air until sometime around 6:10 Saturday night, at which time K-Love started broadcasting on the 98.9 frequency.

Still more All-Hit 98.9 audio...

I have uploaded a scoped copy of Red Hot Brian Scott's final show (2/3/2006 1:00-5:30pm) from the last day of All-Hit 98-9. It features numerous interviews with former jocks and several old sweepers/promos from the Power 98.9 days. If you were a fan of WPXR/WHTS, this is worth listening to.

Re: Still more All-Hit 98.9 audio...

Thank you Tim! WPXR and WHTS were always a favorite DX catch of mine...especially when here in the Des Moines area we were without a CHR station from 1991-1999.

That was poetic. Bravo!

Is that the same Tony Waitekus who used to work in Carbondale back in the 70s?

Re: Still more All-Hit 98.9 audio...

I don't recognize your name but I wonder if our paths have crossed? I went to SIU from 1972 to 1976 and got a degree in Radio-TV. Worked at WJPF in Herrin til March 1977. Did you know Jerry Bryant who did the CCM program "Jesus Solid Rock" Sunday evenings on WCIL?

> I started in High School in the Evansville market and then left in my Freshman year at UE to work and watch the paychecks bounce at KGMO-FM in Cape (Top-40, overnights then evenings)....Left that gig in the Spring of '77 and went to Wabash Valley and WVJC (Top-40/AOR on the overnight)...Did about every shift in the two years there....Then to 'CIL-FM in the late Spring of '79 and stayed until going to KINT-98 in El Paso in '82....I was "Skipper T." Thomas and did 9 to mid for two months and then did 6 to 9 in the evenings for the remainder of my 'teen-jock' stay..... Worked at Coo-Coo's on Monday-Tuesday and Friday nights and hosted the amateur nights on Sunday at DuMorac's in DeSoto... Lived at Carbondale Mobile Home park for about 9 months and the rest in Murphysboro (rented a house from Wides Village and Louie Paper...Ugh!)..Matt McCann and Bill Anderle were my roomates.....

Jerry and I are close friends as he was already in Texas with Keith Green by the time I arrived... We got to know each other when I left Seminary to help start the WAY-FM network with Bob Augsburg in 1987 (Fort Myers/Naples/Cape Coral, Florida)....Jerry used to sleep on my floor in Nashville during GMA, along with four or five other guys....He ended up being a neighbor down the road in Nashville when he and Cindy started a Vineyard Fellowship in Music City.....
 
Re: Still more All-Hit 98.9 audio...

That's funny about KGMO, Ive heard in the early days @ KGMO bout checkins bouncing...I worked there in the late 90's, very luckey that none of mine bounced away!!!
