This station was great! Dayton’s WONE-FM became WTUE (get it? – ONE… TUE…) sometime in late 1972, I believe. They broadcast in quadrophonic (known today as Surround, of course), and called it the Super-Two. Their top-of-hour ID is unique… Music POWER-POWER-POWER echoes from channel to channel (I’m presuming that if you had a quad system back then, it would travel all around the room!), followed by their famous “traveling bell.” This aircheck from July 25, 1973 features Dave Michaels.

At approximately 10 minutes into this ‘check is a Hitbound song that is not announced – it took me 30 years to find out what it is (“Lay Down” by The Strawbs).
Plus, there is a rather long but nicely sung WTUE promo around 23:20… something you’d never hear today!
