As I recall, this tape was part of a series that was distributed to PDs around the country during the early 1970s. The idea was that a station’s PD (in this case, Pat Patterson) would put together a station composite and narrate it. On this tape, you hear short airchecks of the WKIX weekday air staff as of early 1972: Pat Patterson (PD and morning drive); Dale Van Horn and Jack Kane (midday); Steve Roddy (afternoon drive); Mike Mitchell and Rick Dees (nights); and Smitty Marshall (all night).
Interesting trivia: After this tape was distributed, Steve Roddy (Kenneth Lowe) got a call from KCBQ with a job offer. But he turned it down to stay in college and get his degree. He’s now the CEO of Scripps-Howard (I guess that degree helped).
