Bobby Wizard Wayne,WCBS-FM NY July 12 1971 Pt. 3 (restored) (1:15:18)

Unscoped
The Rob Frankel Collection
… with all the music in the world …

[DESCRIPTION BY UNCLE RICKY – CONTRIBUTED and RESTORED BY ROB FRANKEL]

The late Bobby “Wizard” Wayne wraps up his show for the evening from July 12, 1971. There are a couple of fresh jingles and promos. We’re in 101 minutes of non-stop music and the station is always identified between songs. In addition, Bobby reviews the book Johnny Got His Gun, and announces the time for sunset, moonrise and the most prominent evening stars.

This 75 minutes is stuffed with what we know today to be genuine “Classic Rock” standards, plus one genuine Top 40 burnout. The ‘scoped version offers an excellent sample of Bobby’s work and WCBS-FM formatics, but baby boomers will relish the full version for extended desktop listening, or mobile with iPlay!

Part Three of this three-part exhibit is another flawless restoration courtesy of REELRADIO friend and Master Restorian Rob Frankel. Thank you, Rob!

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!
