John Leader program tapes of the 80's

S

Had a question about a topic I haven't been able to find much about.

Back in the 1980's on a local automated 620 watt adult contemporary FM, the music was all in open reel format, and John Leader's voice was on those tapes announcing all the songs, giving just artist/song title. He would say, for example: "There's the Steve Miller Band, with Abracadabra.", or "this is Duran Duran.." Wondered if anyone else remembered that, and if any of that content was still available anywhere. Specific station was WVHF-FM 92.7 in Clarksburg, WV. Believe it might have been his own company, Leader Radio Programming, that produced the tapes. Thanks.

I don't know specifically what formats Leader may have voiced, but you might search eBay, as collectors buy. and sell old automation tapes. There's even a Facebook group called Analog Radio Automation, populated by guys who rebuild and refurbish old automation systems (yes, that's a thing)
