Step back into a transformative decade for American radio, where the serious tones of the Vietnam War and Watergate gave way to wild creativity, morning zoo antics, and the distinctive local flavor that made each market unique. Spanning from 1970 through 1979, this expansive collection of 470 recordings (over 401 hours) captures the raw, unscripted energy of radio as it evolved from the '60s into the era of personality-driven shows. From the hallowed halls of WABC New York and KHJ Los Angeles to the historic broadcasts of WKNT and WKSU during the Kent State shootings, these airchecks preserve history as it happened—both the sober and the sensational.
