Part Eight of this Extended-Play CKLW Logger Tape features Johnny Williams and his very boss jock program from 10:15 AM to approximately 11:30 AM on Monday, December 31, 1973.
Grant Hudson interrupts with a traffic advisory, and is also heard with 20/20 News and a CKLW In-Depth report about Canadian Robert Goulet.
This recording, like the previous CKLW Logger Tapes presented in The Andy Bologovsky Collection, was recovered from the original logger reels by restorian Charlie Ritenburg. The fidelity is comparable to a recording made from a narrow-band AM receiver in the local signal area of the mighty CKLW.

Part Seven of this Extended-Play CKLW Logger Tape opens with Jon Belmont and news. It was recorded on the last day of 1973, from about 8:55 AM until approximately 10:15 AM. The first set after the news belongs to Mickey Shorr, who signs off and out of this remarkable logger archive.
And then, Johnny Williams takes over. He is exactly what we expected from first-drawer CKLW jocks – tight, in-control, boss with just a little jive. He pumps the call letters and gets into the music in this exhibit.

“Diamond” Jim Nettleton (d. October 4, 2009) is featured in this noisy capture of his early afternoon show on Hartford’s Big D/WDRC from July 7, 1964.
In addition to the very high noise level, the receiver was slightly mistuned. It’s only obvious on the jingles, sounding like they’re sung by Sylvester the cartoon cat. For their Summer Celebraton, some of the classic Big D jings were mixed with water and boat sounds. It’s likely that all the jings got a little high-end tweak in the production room, and it was just enough to splatter on a radio tuned a little off center.
Technical issues aside, Nettleton is super-smooth. He went on to an impressive career which included WFIL, WABC, WCAU-FM, WUSL-FM, WSNI-FM and WOGL-FM.
This was a great American Top 40 radio station. It’s obvious WDRC was big-time all the way, with their Best Sellers, Swingin’ 60 Survey, Listener Songquests, Vacation Dedications and their Big D Exclusives!
