  • CASEY KASEM "American Top Forty"

    July, 24, 1971. Kemal Amin "Casey" Kasem (April 27, 1932 – June 15, 2014) was an American disc jockey, actor, and radio personality, who created and hosted several radio countdown programs, notably American Top 40. He was the first actor to voice Norville "Shaggy" Rogers in the Scooby-Doo franchise (1969 to 1997 and 2002 to 2009).

    Kasem began hosting the original American Top 40 on the weekend of July 4, 1970, and remained there until 1988. He would then spend nine years hosting another countdown titled Casey's Top 40, beginning in January 1989 and ending in February 1998, before returning to revive American Top 40 in 1998.

  • DJ AIRCHECK "WPAZ, Pottstown PA"


    A Great Scott Station WPAZ AM Pottstown in Suburban Philadelphia PA. June 8, 1971. R Alan Campbell covering an air shift for Herb Scott who needed a cover DJ for his vacationing afternoon man. The station, which signed on in 1951, was originally owned by the Scott Family, and later, their subsidiary, Great Scott Broadcasting, Inc. Over time, WPAZ became the "flagship station" for Great Scott Broadcasting, as corporate operations for its expanding group were handled out of the station's Maugers Mill Road studio location. During the period that Herb and Faye Scott owned the company, WPAZ was one of its strongest properties, despite the station's status as a daytime-only station for much of its existence. WPAZ was a typical full-service station of its time, boasting music, local news and high school sports, local talk shows, church services, and remote broadcasts. Music formats varied from adult contemporary, oldies and adult standards. Following Herb Scott's death in 1984, the company gradually shifted its focus from AM to FM by selling its properties in Ohio and western Pennsylvania, and acquiring signals in the Delmarva area. GSB corporate functions were later moved to Delaware after son Mitchell Scott assumed control of the stations after the turn of the 21st century. Nonetheless, WPAZ remained a part of Great Scott's portfolio. WPAZ ceased operations on December 10, 2009, due to lack of sufficient revenue as Great Scott citing a focus on its other, more-profitable stations. Faye Scott died November 7, 2010. In 1971 the station was in the process of moving from it's High Street location to "The Lodge" being constructed at the transmitter site on Maugers Mill Road.

  • WOLFMAN JACK "WNBC, New York City"

    A few minutes of highlights skimmed from an air check of the Wolfman Jack Show on WNBC. Wolfman was paid handsomely to join WNBC in New York in August 1973, the same month that American Graffiti premiered, and the station did a huge advertising campaign in local newspapers stating that the Wolfman would propel their ratings over those of their main competitor, WABC, which had "Cousin Brucie" (Bruce Morrow). The advertisements proclaimed, "Cousin Brucie's Days Are Numbered", and thousands of small, tombstone-shaped paperweights were distributed that said, "Cousin Brucie is going to be buried by Wolfman Jack". After less than a year, WNBC hired Cousin Brucie, and Wolfman Jack went back to California to concentrate on his syndicated radio show, which was carried on KRLA-Pasadena (Los Angeles) from 1984 to 1987.
