No, it was definitely B-94. As pointed out, B-94 during this time was a mass-appeal CHR that would play a heavy dose of Gold tunes during the morning and midday hours, saving the more current hits till later in the afternoon and at night.
Some other items on that aircheck are worth noting:
*Jim Quinn and Banana Don were out on that particular day in the B-94 van giving away money if you showed your B-94 bumper sticker on the back of your auto. Banana Don mentioned that he just spotted a "13-Q" bumper sticker on the back of a taxi cab and asked Quinn if they qualified and Quinn remarked "Negatory, my good friend". (Jim Quinn worked at 13-Q in the late 70s so that was an slight inside joke that the audience got).
*B-94 was doing no-talk "four-in-a-row" music sweeps. Between the second and third song, the station would insert a jingle to ID the station (jingles at the time were cuts from JAM's "The Flame Thrower" package).
*And I've left off a song. the last song on the list was "It Ain't Enough" by Corey Hart (a follow-up to "Sunglasses At Night" that hit the top 20 in 1984).
A question: I've noticed that B-94 was billed as "Power Hits B-94" in the mid to late 80s on some of the "Billboard" playlists, minus the bee mascot. How long did they used the "Power Hits" tag?
If anyone wants me to, I'll post some B-94 playlists from the 80s and early 90s.
