This Exhibit ‘SCOPED (05:37) If you just don’t want the music, this version’s for you, in the same hi-fi bandwidth! [By Uncle Ricky with notes from Rob Frankel] On a Broadband connection, this exhibit should sound very, VERY good. 46 minutes of Emmy-Award Winner Beaver Cleaver (aka: Ken Levine) on 97 KHTZ-FM in Los Angeles. Even Kiss was making Disco. The Beaver does it in stereo, and Earth is singing the lead for After The Love Is Gone. There’s an obvious edit or two, but otherwise, this one is very smooth from top to bottom. We note that Beaver’s time at KHTZ-FM is not included with his bio in L.A. Radio People, so maybe he never really worked there, at all, or maybe this radio station was never rockin’ out with free-form professional deejays AND these formula CHR hits in 1979. CAUTION! Includes DISCO tunes. Somethin’ you wanna hear? Leave it to Beaver

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!
