Peters Productions B-100 Rock Connection (Demo) (0:09:51)

… 19-11-2000 00:00 …
Here’s a goodie from my deep and dangerous stash of stuff I know nothing about. Thankfully, visitors to this site know more about most things than I do. Not to mention that Repository contributor Bobby Rich is featured on this demo, so maybe he’ll ‘splain it. Great fidelity on this one, but in all fairness, it is mono, and most of the far-out synthesizer effects on this one need stereo (Ah, broadband, where are you?) Previous stereo material on the site has met with very litle interest (most of our visitors simply don’t have the bandwidth) – so you will just have to imagine the SFX are bouncing around. Year? Gosh, I dunno. It came on stereo reel at 7.5 IPS, and prolific Peters Productions in San Diego sent me more than one demo, whenever it was. Lots more stuff to learn about this one – Narrator? The story behind Peters Productions? Was this package used on the air at B-100 ? This is why we have a COMMENT button for this and every exhibit.

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!
