WABC New York NY March 1981 (0:20:35)

The Matt Seinberg Big Apple Airchecks Collection
… the biggest Pips in show business …
Contributor Matt Seinberg writes that this was a composite of WABC airchecks he put together in March of 1981. This was apparently a “new” WABC, featuring New York Yankees baseball games! Dan Ingram, (first show back in PM Drive) March 9 1981 (07:57) Sturgis Griffin, March 9 1981 (02:33) Howard Hoffman, March 10 1981 (02:47) Marc Sommers, March 14 1981 (03:16) Mike McKay, March 21 1981 (04:05) Uncle Ricky recommends the Dan Ingram, Howard Hoffman (also here!), and Mike McKay segments. The Ingram and Hoffman segments also offer better fidelity.

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!
