Imagine – a radio contest that requires the winner to do math!
Davey O’Donnell, a long-time St. Louis personality, is featured here as morning
guy for “KX-okey dokey” radio.
Uncle Ricky has a real passion for those great old Top 40 newscasts, and this
aircheck begins with KXOK “Director of News” David D. Rogers, and “KXOK Essential News”, most of the elements of which we’ve heard previously as WFUN Fundamental News. There is one very stylish portion of this newscast
that gave me goosebumps, though. Listen carefully about 50 seconds in, as Rogers
does the weather, just before the top of the hour. There’s a subtle “cathedral chimes” background seguing into a xylophone news underscore. VERY nice!
It’s just one more example of the marvelous magic of Top 40 production.
