AIRCHECK OF THE WEEK

Edition #595
August 29, 2010

ALL NIGHT LEGENDS, PT. #4
YVONNE DANIELS, WLS
JULY 12, 1975 (UPGRADED)

Once again, we look back at the jocks who entertained in the wee hours.

Yvonne Daniels spent nearly a decade doing the all-night show on Chicago's WLS, from 1973 to 1982. Not only was she the first female jock at WLS but the first to work full-time on AM radio in Chicago. And while she admittedly hated working all night, she loved the personal involvement with the listeners, who tuned in from all over the world thanks to the powerful WLS signal.

Enjoy this upgraded aircheck of Yvonne Daniels on WLS from July 12, 1975 ... in the Aircheck of the Week.

We wish to thank Don Shuttleworth for another superb aircheck.

FROM THE ARCHIVES...

It's time for a ride on the "Night Train." Enjoy Alan Fredericks on WADO New York from February 6, 1961 ... From the Archives here.

Enjoy legendary deejays like Alan Freed, Hound Dog Lorenz, Jackson Armstrong, Robert W. Morgan, Hunter Hancock, Cousin Brucie, Dan Ingram, Dick Biondi, Wolfman Jack, Al Boliska, Jay Nelson, The Real Don Steele, Tom Rivers, Brian Skinner, Marc Denis, Red Robinson and many others. Also here: the history, the lineups and the stories of a great radio era now gone but fondly remembered.

First, read a little about this site and then explore this tribute to a great radio era. You can also discuss radio - old and new - at the Southern Ontario/Western New York Radio-TV Forum (SOWNY).
