… Thank you, thank you very much …
[Description by Uncle Ricky. Exhibit contributed by Dave Saviet] Triple-D Dandy Dan Daniel introduces this hour (plus 6 minutes) which features Herb Oscar Anderson as an in-studio guest, and then, HOA broadcating from the Museum of Television and Radio on West 52nd Street in New York. For those of you who could not be at the Museum of Television and Radio on West 52nd Street in New York on June 11, 1995, here’s the first part (more to come) of some of the BEST “Oldies” radio at the peak of the very best oldies format. Nearly all classic Top 40 stations were gone by 1995, but WCBS-FM was actively broadcasting some of the most amazing “oldies” radio every day – with many of the living legends of the format. Herb Oscar Anderson passed away January 29, 2017. He was 89. regarding Dan Daniel and Herb Oscar Anderson, WCBS-FM June 11, 1995 ©2017 REELRADIO, Inc. All Rights Reserved

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!
