… Silver Springs? That guy’s from outta town …
This Exhibit ‘SCOPED (15:07) If all you want is the jings and the jock and the news and the spots, this version’s for you! Please remember that in addition to music licensing fees for the mostly UNSCOPED version, there are bandwidth and hardware costs for this ‘SCOPED version, and anything streamed from REELRADIO. We welcome your support. [Description by Uncle Ricky] Long-time WPGC morning man Harv Moore, “The Boy Next Door”, is featured here in the 8AM hour on Tuesday, May 27, 1969. The Apollo 10 astronauts had completed their mission two days earlier, and Summer Power is here, as the Good Guys take to the shore in their Beach Comber. This (mostly) unscoped exhibit features a short news update and a few musical surprises. That trademark Morningside reverb is just right, and the folksy and casual Moore is heavy on his horn, goofy drop-ins and classic PAMS jingles.

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!
