… it’s costing him more today to take off the weight than what he paid to put on all that fat …
The phase and alignment problems on this cassette contribution become somewhat less unpleasant after the first three minutes, so jump in the for the long haul and enjoy. This is an unscoped exhibit of Art Roberts on WKQX-FM (Chicago 101), from Thursday, September 13, 1979.
In his book, Thinkin’ Out Loud, Art wrote that he created his “most meaningful feature”
(Thinkin’ Out Loud) while working with Bill Stedman, Program Director at WKQX. This
aircheck (unfortunately) doesn’t include that feature, but it surely is a real-time sample of this young adult
radio station – or is it an “Oldies” format? Listen for the NBC signature that opens the Barbara Schleck newscasts  and there are interesting “unknown” jingles.
We believe that Art’s self-contributed
1981 WKQX aircheck is a better example of what Art did at WKQX, but it’s wonderful to hear Art sounding so great in 1979. The comparisons between his 1967 WLS presentation and this 1979 WKQX presentation are very interesting. He sounds just as real, comfortable and relaxed in 1979 as he did in 1967.
