KVSC-FM (St. Cloud, MN 88.5 FM) - (1980) 1st Trivia Weekend 4 MB  -  Station ID .5 MB

MONTAGE MANIA:  The following is a special contribution by Jay Philpott - WLS started this "artform" in the 70's by airing a recap of the past years hits every New Year's Eve at midnight, adding another minute or so each year to represent each "old year." I caught onto this trend and was inspired by it in 1975. Here are a couple of versions of the WLS Montage. The first is an actual aircheck of fairly good quality...but so what if there are imperfections in the signal or the recording - that's the way we heard it! WLS MONTAGE (air 55-84) 21 MBThis version is a complete and absolutely faithful stereo rebuild of the original montage, produced by Scott Childers (www.scottchilders.com): WLS STEREO REBUILD 26 MB. This final version is my production. I began it in 1979 while I was working at KFMX-FM, as a way to commemorate the passing of the 70s decade. For New Year's Eve 1980 leading into 1981, I added the new 1980 segment and retro-expanded the montage to 1964...the beginning of contemporary music with the Beatles Era. When I started at WLOL-FM in the summer of '80, I brought it with me and we played it every New Year's Eve at midnight, following each year's "Hot Hits Countdown." I also added 1981, 1982 and 1983. Following my late 1984 departure from WLOL-FM, Gregg Swedberg and his staff continued the tradition of adding to and airing the montage through 1990. From that point, I informally kept up with the montage here and there, even though it didn't have a home for a New Year's Eve airing. The last few years of this piece contain montage elements produced by Scott Childers. I am particularly flattered that Ron "Boogiemonster" Gerber used this montage as a premium to attract pledges to KFAI-FM through his "Crap From The Past" show each Friday night. I'm told it helped him obtain record donations!

Unidentified Station - This aircheck is dated May 23-24, 1947 . It consists of a newscast; live commercials for Shredded Wheat, Libby’s, Crisco and Ovaltine; Gopher sports show with Bernie Bierman and portion of a Gopher Maroon-Gold spring football broadcast. The announcer is Earl Moseman (sp?).
