This tightly edited hour, presented as part of the April 1985 WLS 25th Anniversary DJ Reunion begins with a composite of some of the Big 89 DJs, including Gene Taylor, Dick Biondi, Ron Riley, Dex Card, Jerry Kaye, Scotty Brink, Steve Lundy, J.J. Jeffrey, Joel Sebastian, Bill Bailey, Charlie Van Dyke, Bob Sirott, Yvonne Daniels, John Landecker, Larry Lujack, Tommy Edwards, Steve Dahl, and Gary Meier.

A music and jingle montage follows, and the exhibit concludes with a commercial and news composite.

Much of this material was previously presented in Jeff Davis: WLS, The MusicRadio Years, 1960-1985 from the 1997 DJ Reunion.

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!
