Fred Winston, WKYC Cleveland OH Summer 1968 (scoped) (0:10:48)
Scoped
This somewhat off-the-beaten-track treasure features a young and hyper Fred Winston subbing for vacationing Chuck Dunaway ( thanks to Jay Marks for his comment) on WKYC, (once WWWE, WTAM, KYW) Cleveland, Ohio.
This time around, WKYC is Power Radio, despite the “gavel to gavel” coverage of a convention announced by NBC Radio’s Tom Carson in the few closing seconds of a local newscast. The expected NBC network newscast, and any associated production elements at the top of the hour, is missing from this aircheck. Power Radio lasted 367 days. NBC wasn’t fully committed to the format.
Sure sounded like PAMS jingles, but according to a comment, they’re early TM. Another comment confirms that it IS Lou Rawls selling Cold Power detergent.
Now, freshly encoded for 2012, two songs have been restored and the rest is unscoped, with the exception of the missing 3PM newscast. Great playlist, but the board-op was so intent on “tight” that jingles were clipped a few times.
