WOKY, 1963: (L-R) Bob White, Nat “King” Cole, Steve O’Shea, Bill Henry and Mitch Michael (Terrell Metheny). The “MB” on the blazers was for McFadden-Bartell Publishing, the station owner.REELRADIO pays music licensing fees to bring you airchecks that include music, whenever possible.

This mostly unscoped (but edited) recording features Terrell Metheny as Mitch Michael on WOKY in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Included are segments of the 3 and 4 PM hours from an uncommonly warm summer Tuesday (June 9, 1964.)
In addition to a few musical selections off the beaten path (and quite obviously targeted to WOKY’s “upper demographics”), you’ll hear several jingles, a spot for the second James Bond film starring Sean Connery, and an airborne traffic report from pilot Art Zander. In Milwaukee, Bartell’s WOKY was the first station to broadcast traffic reports from the air.
