Shana, KFRC San Francisco, January 3, 1976 (scoped) (0:17:06)

Scoped
… My theme song from the Stones …
Shana(courtesy LA Radio People) Description and Great ‘scoping by Contributor Scott Lowe Shana was my PD at KPCC. It took a while to convince her to dig up something from her Top 40 past, but she eventually gave in and passed along an unscoped hour from early 1976. It’s the midnight hour at KFRC, and Shana is filling-in for Don St. John on a “Golden Weekend”. The log is packed with ten minutes of spots (12 units), and five are live reads. Lots of Johnny Mann jingles are heard, along with the more contemporary package from Joseph P. Cuff. Later this same year, Shana moved down the coast to KHJ/Los Angeles. Shana passed away July 17, 2015, of unknown causes. She was 62.

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!
