Bob Moody, CKLW Logger December 31, 1973 Pt. 1 (scoped) (0:15:42)

Scoped
… It’s New Year’s Eve, I’m in the spirit already …

[Description by Uncle Ricky. Exhibit contributed by Andy Bologovsky]

Cowboy Bob Moody (later known as Cosmic Bob Moody) had been at CKLW for only a few months when captured by this logger tape on the last day of 1973. Joe Donovan is featured with 20/20 News, which includes an In Depth Report about Canadian favorite Robert Goulet.

As of 2005, Moody was Vice-President of Programming for Regent Communications, a radio conglomerate company based in Tennessee.

This recording, like the previous CKLW Logger Tapes presented in The Andy Bologovsky Collection was recovered from the original logger reels by restorian Charlie Ritenburg. The fidelity is comparable to a recording made from a narrow-band AM receiver in the local signal area of the mighty CKLW.

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!
