WBRU, Brown University 1960s Memories

Air-Check Clips

A good DJ/Announcer makes periodic air-check recordings to see how he or she sounds.  A few of us actually saved some of these things, and (remembering that we were just amateurs, please) we present a few here for nostalgic or occasionally amusing moments!  Unless otherwise noted, these are AM campus-only airchecks, NOT FM!

• Newscast excerpt - (FM) President Johnson's programs, Draft Law, Discredited Congressmen, by Mark Jordan
• Campus Crier - by Mark Jordan
• Record Hop Ad and adlibs! - by Mark Jordan
• Spotlight Promo (Lee Edwards/Paul Payton) and Station ID (Dave Pearce) w/Jerry Hubeny adlibs in Dec '64
• Thought for the Day - Bob Kingston (Mulholland) over Dave Pearce production
• WBRU Request Line from Kingston/Jordan air-check (Kingston = Bob Mulholland)
• Combined Time, Temperature, Weather Intro - by Jerry Hubeny, from Kingston/Jordan air-check
• Sound Sandwich - by Jerry Hubeny, from Kingston/Jordan air-check
• 4pm Air Check - (FM) by Mark Jordan
• Rhythm Section - Don Harris, May 1962
  Ads for Squires Barber Shop and Harvey Ltd; Station Jingles; Weather Jingle; News Intro (Bob Kuller); US Army PSA by Mitch Miller; Nightcap show promo (by Mike Gradison)
• Saturday Night Dance Party - Don Harris, May 1962
  Similar to Rhythm Section items, plus ads for Toy Sun's Restaurant and Ladd's Music

BONUS!

• The Armenian Hour - a sound clip from a local Providence AM (WRIB 1220?) radio show in the 60s; the reading of the ads is hysterical!
