… Hot Hits! Hot Ticket! W – Z – O – U, Boston’s ZOO …
[Description by Uncle Ricky]
Uncle Johnny is all excited about the all-new ZOO. I know next to nothing
about 80’s-decade Boston radio, so we’ll ask our visitors to fill in the blanks
about WZOU and Uncle Johnny by using our built-in comment feature.
REELRADIO pays music licensing fees to present unedited music online. If you enjoy unedited airchecks like this one, your tax-deductible contribution to our operating fund will help keep this and other “unscoped” exhibits available.
This is well-done mid-80’s CHR, even if it’s slightly fuzzy FM reception. The jingles in (infrequent) use here are from JAM, and are also featured as recorded for WAVA at REELRADIO.
The Production Director was working long days at WZOU, I’d bet. There are a couple
of locally-produced spots here that are better than average. But there are no 6-minute stopsets, no substitution of ponderous “imaging” elements for the DJ, and no “hip-hop”. Oh yes, 1985 was a very long time ago
