… you custom-build your radio (station) to fit the community …
[Description by Uncle Ricky from notes by contributor Bob Campbell]
This Best Of Larry King network capture is incomplete. The first half-hour, featuring airchecks of the program’s guests, was not recorded. Examples of Scott Shannon and Greaseman are available elsewhere on REELRADIO.
You DO get penalized when (they) tune out, Sir! Larry King talks with Scott Shannon and Greaseman about Top40 morning shows. This is tremendous history for students of media. The challenge is determining the date(s) of broadcast.
According to the contributor, this was recorded in the Spring of 1984, a “Best Of” broadcast taken from a previous “live” broadcast. We believe the original broadcast was on Saturday, January 14, 1984, and the re-broadcast (featured here) was on April 1, 1984.
However, in the Mutual newscasts, there is reference to Daylight Savings Time (the first Sunday in April, April 1, 1984), and President Reagan in China (April 26, 1984). Clearly, we don’t understand this. We welcome comment and correction.
