There were "B-100 Ways To Have A Ball" back in 1977 and Danny Wilde, Gene Knight and Gary Kelley prove it in this "Groovy Aircheck" from May, 1977 of B100 in San Diego.
It's Charlie Van Dyke's last day on 93KHJ in Los Angeles as he moves on to Dallas in May of 1977. That afternoon, M.G. Kelly promos the "new" morning man, Charlie Tuna. And then it's Charlie Tuna's first day on 93KHJ with his special guest Sylvester Stallone.
Bobby Ocean gives away a thousand bucks on 93KHJ in Los Angeles in May of 1977 on this "Mark's Groovy Aircheck".
This "Mark's Groovy Aircheck" features the legendary "The Real Don Steele" from an afternoon shift on 10Q in Los Angeles in May of 1977.
"KCBQ Becomes A Thing Of The Past" was the classic "play on words" created by Gerry Cagle. The build-up made the listeners think the station was history, as in "going away", as the lead-in to the announcement by Mason Dixon led us to believe. Actually, it became more of a celebration of the past promotions that were a part of KCBQ, including "The Great Rip-Off", "Keep On Truckin'" and "The Last Contest". This piece features airchecks from those classic promotions.
This "Groovy Aircheck" is from B-100FM in San Diego and features Shotgun Tom Kelly, Glen McCartney, Danny Wilde, Gene Knight, Just Kevin, Jimmy Rogers, Gary Kelley and Doctor Boogie (Bobby Rich).
It's "April Fools Day, 1977" so don't always believe what you hear on B-100 in San Diego! It features Danny Wilde...or does it??
Only from the mind of Bobby Ocean could there emerge "Zork". This was the promo announcing the arrival of "Zork!" to 93/KHJ in Los Angeles in 1977.
Here's a sample of what afternoon drive and early evening sounded like in Boston, MA on August 1, 1978. This "Groovy Aircheck" features "Big Ron" O'Brien and Willie B. on WRKO, and "Major Tom" and Jojo Kincaid on F-105 (WVBF).
This "Groovy Aircheck" was recorded in a hotel room in Kankakee, Illinois during a cross-country trip on July 24, 1978. It's John "Records" Landecker ("Records" is truly his middle name) on WLS in Chicago. Be sure and check out the 2nd Boogie Check. It seems that the engineer-on-duty didn't know about the "bleep button" ("Hope we got some ratings points for it 'cause I think I just lost my gig!").

Another of the favorites of "Mark's Groovy Trip" is Bobby Ocean. He got a chance to fill-in on the morning show one day on 93KHJ, Los Angeles in September of 1976. Ah yes, philosophy in the morning!
The ultimate fear of any morning man is oversleeping. Well, it happens to the best of them! It happened to Charlie Van Dyke on this morning on 93KHJ, Los Angeles in the Fall of 1976. The overnight jock Dave Sebastian had to hang around a little longer than he expected.
Charlie Van Dyke was not only the Program Director but also the Morning Man on 93KHJ in Los Angeles. Here is a typical morning in September, 1976. His newsman is Marv Howard.
