When Radio Was Good, 1974-79....

And now, the third part -- or the first -- of my series.

When I was much younger, what I listened to on the radio was essentially what my parents wanted to listen to -- jazz on WADV-FM, Dan Lesniak's Polka Ballroom on Saturday mornings, and so-called "beautiful music" on WBNY (later WJYE -- "Joy"). They didn't listen to country or classical music.

That changed in 1974, with WKBW, American Top 40, and Rock 102. )

When Radio Was Good: 1981-1989.....

Earlier in my LJ, I wrote about Buffalo radio from 1979-1981, based on tapes I made off the air. I want to turn this into a series of articles of days gone by, and I have lots of tapes I made off the air. In the future, I'll write about 1974-79, and possibly 1969-74.

Remembering WRXT, CFNY, and The Wave. )
