Old jazz or big band, followed by 60s psych followed by doo wop followed by bluegrass followed by something that sounds like it's from a Busby Berkley musical. I can honestly say there is NOTHING else like this in my listening area. Sometimes WJFF in Jeffersonville NY (only 100% hydro powered station around) will play music like this, but not as a mix. Thanks for turning me on to this Professor.

WTBQ in Warwick (wtbq.com) is also privately owned and programmed (since 1969), and has just expanded to an FM signal as well. They have a lot of syndicated stuff during the day (Neil Boortz, Paul Harvey, ABC News) but the music is one hundred percent DJ programmed, no Jack here. You can listen on the web or pick them up at 99.1 FM driving up. One of my new favorites is a show called Lister Live, a guy who worked at WBAI and Island records back in the 70s, doing political chat mixed with reggae music.

Makes me happy to know these old airchecks are finding new ears. I really appreciate you taking the time to write. Please stop by again. There's more old music radio in the pipeline...

And great listening! I grew up in Detroit too and listened to WHND 'Honey Radio'. I'm 38, but I really enjoyed the WHVW shows and the Tony Oren shows are awesome. I remember my dad listening to and taping (reel-to-reel) a show in the late 70s I think was called the 'Saturday Night Dance Party' and it had a lot of great big band songs along with songs by the Ames Brothers and other popular performers from the 40s and 50s. Thanks for bringing back memories but also introducing me to new titles as well. What a fantastic site. And great listening! I grew up in Detroit too and listened to WHND ‘Honey Radio’.
