Bob Eubanks 1965, KRLA Pasadena April 1, 1992 Pt.2 (scoped) (0:09:45)

Scoped
… In fact, Dave was making love to his wife the other night during the earthquake — almost woke her up …

Here’s more of Bob Eubanks on April 1, 1992, when KRLA became A Thing Of The Past with reconstructed airchecks from the Sixties. This is the second part restored from Bob’s airchecks.

Stan Getz and Astrud Gilberto are featured with a catchy jingle for Maclean’s toothpaste, Dave Hull does a promo for Dick Biondi, and we are encouraged to see the U.S.A. in a Chevrolet.

Most of this aircheck seems to have been recorded after The Beatles made their first appearance in America — KRLA was Your Beatles Station. The music is a mid-60’s mix from several years.
Listen to the elaborate and detailed description of a suspected murderer being sought by the FBI on Crime Beat, and a quick drop from Mick Jagger.

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!
