Sean Casey, WOR-FM, NY November 7, 1970 Pt.2 (0:50:22)

… on your day of leisure …
This two-part stereo exhibit features Sean Casey on Saturday morning November 7, 1970. Live spots dominate, and Casey’s casual and comfortable delivery is perfect for this slick presentation. Produced by a professional WOR-FM technician with practiced Drake formatics and production elements, it’s a great 98 minutes of Polished Mass Appeal Variety Hit Music Radio! Unfortunately, the source recording was severely clipped. It’s been cleaned up, but you’ll hear some high-frequency clicks and artifacts. The good news is that at lower volume on small speakers, it’s tolerable. The flutter, of course, is a wonderful feature of those old-timey gadgets called tape recorders. Stereo phase was corrected because it is an issue for our streaming encoder. But the original recording demonstrated that WOR-FM understood the difficult issues of stereo and tape carts.

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!
