Jay Mack, KIMN Denver, 1970 (0:07:20)

… how about Betty Jo Bioloski …
This was apparently Jay Mack’s last nighttime shift in “Mountain America” on 95 Fabulous KIMN. This Friday night aircheck begins with Mack’s invitation to his “nighttime freaks” to join him 2-6PM beginning Monday.It’s interesting to NOT hear any “more music” hype on this nighttime Top 40
radio station in 1970! Mack is the focus, he definitely does drop-ins and
this is a fully-hosted Disc Jockey show in the finest 50’s and 60’s traditions!
But it was 1970, and true Top 40: Shirley Bassey and Led Zeppelin – A classic from The Mile High Giant! Repository Contributor Joe Wicks credits Wayne Yaffee for the original.

Jay Mack passed away at the age of 64 on Saturday, March 2, 2002.

Welcome to the new ReelRadio!

This site is now operated by the North Carolina Broadcast History Museum. 

We want to thank the board of ReelRadio, Inc. for their stewardship since the passing of the founder Richard Irwin in 2018.  It has not been easy and they have maintained the exhibits for future generations to enjoy.

I met Richard Irwin, aka Uncle Ricky, when we were freshmen at East Carolina University.  We both had worked at local stations in our hometowns.  No one was more passionate about radio, especially Top 40 radio, than my friend Richard. 

Our goals with this site are to preserve the exhibits and make them available free of charge for people to enjoy.  Over time, we hope to add some airchecks to the site.  This will not happen immediately.  Time and resources will determine the future of new exhibits. 

Many thanks to the web folks at the Beasley Media Group for countless hours of work.  Again thanks to the board members of ReelRadio, Inc. for their faith in us. 

Richard Irwin’s hope was that his site would live on long after his passing. He said, “I hope REELRADIO will survive as my contribution to the ‘radio business’. The business is allowed to forget me, but the business should never forget the great era of radio that we celebrate here”.

We remember Richard and we thank him. If you enjoy this new site, we would appreciate a contribution. We hope you enjoy the new ReelRadio!
