Rewind your calendar by listening to Mike Weber on the radio between 1969 & 1986. It provides a memory reviving snapshot of the times. Most of these airchecks are "scoped", meaning that when the microphone was off, the tape stopped recording. (Copyrighted material appears under the "Fair Use" doctrine.) Career growth for announcers at that time meant that you started at small market stations and progressed to larger ones as your talent developed. So these recordings include music and talk formats from: WMOA, KNEZ, WOXR, KCRG, WLW, WKRC, WLCY, WNSI, WQYK, WFLA-AM, WFLA-FM, and finally WPDS.

NOV 18, 1980 WLCY (Mike & Kurt) - Tampa

Burt & Kurt were still doing mornings and I was in mid-days for a brief period after arriving in Tampa. On this morning Burt (Bob Burton) was off and I filled his spot on the comedy team with Kurt (Kurt Kilpatrick)

The WLCY promotion was the "$100,000 Contest, Contest." It was a modified rip-off of "The Last Contest" with listeners vying for duplicate prize packages by simply identifying what it was that hour. One of my later callers had a shot at a pair of Ford Mustangs... she didn't win even though she had someone trying to silently tell her the answer. (She couldn't read lips.) She later unsuccessfully sued us.
