WNBC 66 New York - Howard Stern with Don Imus - 1983

WNBC’s format in the years 1983-1986 was one of the most entertaining and best all-around radio that was ever done in New York. Perhaps anywhere. You got music, information, laughter; WNBC IMHO, was at least as good in its own right, during these years, as WABC was in its heyday in the 1960s. This is what radio was SUPPOSED to be like, and NBC actually got it right!

You had personalities like Soupy Sales, Alan Comes, Joey Reynolds, Wolfman Jack, and of course, Don Imus & Howard Stern. The feud between Stern & Imus became legendary, and went on for decades. However, there was a time when Stern was new to New York radio, and he actually got along with Imus. In fact, Imus was a regular guest on the Stern show in the first year or two. There were even times Imus was actually live in the studio with Howard.

This air check from 1983 shows the camaraderie between Don & Howard. It also includes Howard’s early show open & theme song by The Double “O” Zeros, a punk band, who were fans of the Stern show.

(I recorded this show from Hammonton New Jersey, about 140 miles from new York City, so audio quality is less than perfect, but listenable.)

After over 40 years working on the radio, I have recorded lots of my own radio air checks of ME on the air, and many of my friends as well. You'll find audio of many radio personalities who have passed away, but have passed their audio to me to share here. You'll find radio airchecks from the 1940s, through the 1990s. We also talk about radio broadcasting. If you happen to have classic airchecks, maybe even of yourself on the air, we'd love to share it here!

If you are on the radio, or do voiceovers for You Tube videos, I have tips to make your radio show or video voiceovers better!

In addition to sharing audio from my 40 years in broadcasting, we also share videos about Travel & Cruising. I share tips on how I travel cheaply, so you can do it also!

***BTW, I edit all music out of airchecks to avoid music rights issues.***
