AIRCHECK OF THE WEEK

Edition #824
March 1, 2015



RICK SHULTZ
WHEE MARTINSVILLE, VA.
DECEMBER 26, 1965, PT. #3 (UNSCOPED)

The one and only Rick Shultz is back with more of the magic he worked at WHEE in the mid-'60s.

Practically born into the radio business, Rick's father founded WHEE in 1954 and the younger Schulz had his own show there at the tender age of 15. Rick later honed his skills at Winston-Salem stations WTOB and WSJS then returned to his hometown to host "The Sunday Session" on WHEE. It was the only time the station played Top 40 all week and Shultz made the best of it with his fast-moving show that epitomizes the fun that was Top 40 radio in the '60s.

Enjoy Rick Shultz on WHEE Martinsville, Va., from December 26, 1965, Pt. #3 (UNSCOPED) ... in the Aircheck of the Week.

Thanks to Rick Shultz himself for more from "The Sunday Session."
