  • WLS 89 Chicago - WLS Composite Aircheck - 1970-74
    The Rock Of Chicago was 89 WLS. It was a pop powerhouse across the midwest.
    89 WLS had so many legendary personalities that graced the microphones. Fred Winston, Larry Lujack, John Records Landecker, Tommy Edwards, Jeff Davis, and others.
    This aircheck features bits of different airchecks, from 1970, to 1974. You'll hear Larry Lujack, John Records Landecker, Charlie Van Dyke, Yvonne Daniels, Bob Sirott, and others.
    Feel free to check out some of the many other videos on the Ellis B Feaster's Radio Channel! Established in 2008!
    One of You Tube's oldest RADIO AIRCHECK MUSEUM with a NEW VIDEO posted daily at 3PM EST.
    After over 40 years working on the radio, I have recorded lots of radio airchecks, and many from my friends as well.
    You'll find audio of many radio personalities who have passed away. Lots radio recordings from the 1940s, through the 2010.
    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!
    We also share videos about Travel & Cruising. I share tips on how I travel cheaply, so you can do it also! Find me on Facebook: / ellisairchecks

    What radio used to be, and will never be again. Never was good enough to work at the Big 89, but always wanted to. Damn good stuff.

    The absolute best time in AM TOP 40 radio and I am proud to say I was part of it! Thanks for this Ellis!

    Larry Lujack was unique in that he could keep his listeners enthralled so they wouldn't change stations.

    Cool to hear that the George Harrison Bangladesh live album got radio airplay back then!

      Yes, I didn't realize it was played!

    Another great aircheck. Thanks Ellis Feaster! At 4:39 Larry Lujack says "I got the hungries for your love and I'm waiting in your welfare line." That's the tag line of Buck Owen's big country hit from 1966. "Waiting In Your Welfare Line" was #1 on the Country charts for 7 weeks in the winter of '66.

    Robin McNamara right out the gate! I think I recall as a little kid seeing the add for Susan, "Everybody Needs Milk" and I only just now got the double meaning behind it! Hey, I was 5yrs old or so, gimme a break man! That letter from "TM" @ 5:45 was good! Programming for, "...sophisticated, intelligent high school and college students and mature 2nd graders"!😀 Dig that K-Tel commercial @21:51 followed by a rocker by The Osmonds! Man, ALL the songs were good...and PAUL HARVEY, how classic is that?!?!

    Ah the memories. I used to pick up WLS in Waco TX. Something about that AM radio sound.

      My Dad taught me about distant AM signals bouncing off the ionosphere, and WLS was one of the stations I discovered (we lived near Nashville TN). I was a regular listener during the time of these airchecks.

      @brenttravis4665 some thing you may want to look into. There has been talk of car manufacturers phasing out AM in the car stereos. I heard this on WBAP Rick Roberts Show out of Dallas. At this point l believe Ford will not do this. Politics involved. AM talk radio as you know is a big conservative platform. All politics aside, as far as WBAP, it is where you can tune in for constant weather coverage when it gets bad. When satellite TV or FM radio fails, AM radio still stands.

    hey! great stuff! is there a way i could somehow get a listen to one of the raw footage/recordings? it'd be very neat to just hear an unedited 30mins-1hr of what the radio used to sound like.
    Thanks!~ :-)

    The over-editing is terrible.
