For those who can do without the music, we present this ‘scoped version, with a reminder for everyone that we use bandwidth either way, plus we pay music license fees to include the tunes. Please support REELRADIO.
Doc Brock (d. June 28, 2015, 66) burns what’s left of those fifty kilowatts — and more — in Part Two of this incredible high-energy performance from Chicago’s Voice of Labor on September 4, 1974.

And how ugly that Doc should have to play two miserable double down ballads in this short aircheck, though he treats them professionally (even if Olivia is the target of some cynicism.) Seems as though WCFL was not keeping midday material out of the nighttime. A bit too broad, perhaps. But as always, Doc sounds great and way beyond normal.

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!
