Fred King, WFEC Harrisburg PA 1967 (0:07:23)

The Fred King Sean King Collection
… King Fred, King Fred, King Fred …
[Description by Uncle Ricky} This sample of Fred King on WFEC in Harrisburg was recorded on an overnight show in the Spring of 1967. Lots of promos, typical for top Top 40 stations all over America at the time. I don’t recognize the Funtastic Fourteen Double Oh jingles, but it’s fascinating to hear a bit of WFEC from this era. At this time, WFEC was the Number One radio station in Pennsylvania’s Capital City. Carla, who is apparently a State employee, is up late tonight and sounding VERY nice on the phone. We’ll forgive Fred for taking his time with this young lady.

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!
