Please look for and post YOUR local, teenage radio station.

ID it (and you) with dates .... I was 13 in 1961.

Chiquita Banana 1973 (high school)

WIOT 104.7, Toledo, back when they were good, in the 70’s. Classic rock before it was classic...

I was in conversation last night with other seasoned citizens and a general element to our conversation was, WE didn't have negative musical influences in our pre and teen years and maybe THAT'S how we ended up conservative and patriotic.

I went looking on youtube for MY teen years on a local radio staion and I found the clip I posted.

Here's Wolfman Jack (early 60's?)"

[MayflowerMadam]

WKBW Buffalo. Especially Tommy Shannon Show in the ‘60s.

I had to sneak listening to it. Rock ‘n’ roll was a no-no in our house (parsonage).

Growing up in Syracuse, my favorite was 1260 WNDR, which still exists but with a different format.

My parents bought me a transistor radio when I was in forth grade (sometime in 1964), and it became to me what the internet is today: my window on a gigantic world.

Once, during the Lou Christie song Lightnin' Strikes, there was an actual flash of lighting. This was while I had the radio under my pillow, while going to sleep at night.

I was amazed when, while taking the song out, the DJ said "I saw some actual lighting there!" I didn't know where the radio station actually was as a child, and in that moment realized that it might actually be nearby.

I was a teen in the 50’s, that music caused a lot of early marriages. No wonder, it lead to so many boomers conceived in 57 Chevy s. Cousin Brucey!

[Bonemaker]

Heard them all...at the time they were originally aired! KDTH in Dubuque is still playing them!

[knarf]

Found this from '67

[Gideon7]

KQRS 92 in Minnesota was blaring The Who, Creedence Clearwater, Jim Morrison, and Queen back when I grew up in the late 70s and early 80s.

40 years later and they are still playing the same songs 24/7.

I think it also planted some good, old fashioned American seeds as well.

THAT was where our coversation went last night

[Steely Tom]

Wow! I don’t believe that! Very good!

I made many hours of reel-to-reel tape recordings of local radio stations, but they’re all lost, undoubtedly thrown out by my parents when I moved away from home.
