However, I put my tape recorder and radio on a timer and recorded WNCN becoming WQIV.

Although the Youtube aircheck runs for ten minutes, I have six hours of recording from that day. Unlike Phil, I went to High School that day on November 7, 1974.

YES IT IS A DIRE SHAME IT IS NO LONGER ON EVEN IN A SMALLER STATION. I SEE COMPLAINTS FROM ALL OVER THE COUNTRY ABOUT THIS AS I LIVE IN SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA NOW. THE BROADCASTING EQUILIBRIUM IS DAMAGED BEYOND AND TO PAY FOR SATELLITE AND FEED THE COFFERS OF THE FCC IS NOT WHAT I EVER HAD IN MIND. TRY WKTZ JACKSONVILLE FLORIDA ON THE NET NO STRINGS ATTACHED. RATINGS HAVE GOT THIS COUNTRY IN A SEVERE DOWNWARD SPIRAL. I WAS MUSIC DIRECTOR FOR PARENT COMPANY BONNEVILLE IN THE 80′S AND WHAT YOU HEARD ON WRFM IS MANY SELECTIONS I WAS RESPONSIBLE FOR.

"Maid Marion" was what David Dubal called you. He went on to stay with WNCN, on and off, until late 1980s or early 1990's. Nice to know you're still around. Cheers Matt Hi Marion…there’s a photo of you on the WNCN.org website.

I do know that there may be a 101.9 WLIF-FM HD station coming that will bring back the oldies station format, but without familiar DJs such as Steve Rouse. We do have The Point as 106.5 WWMX-FM HD 3 as well. Smooth Jazz is back on the air in Baltimore on 102.7 WQSR-FM HD 2, but you need a HD Radio in order to get it.

I can remember by heart much of the tape espeacilly the line: "WRFM's easy music hour continues from 93 on the dial with music just right for you." This was during the Egypt/ Israel war and a garbage mans strike in New York. It was the sheer word perfect delivery and the tone of the annoucers voice that was so New York. I wish that I still had the tape. I always regarded WRFM as the king of stations. Andrew. London.

I was a teenager when the switch was made, but WRFM brings me back to fond, family-related memories, and having worked at a Beautiful Music station for a short period of time about 13 years ago, I know the sound is familiar enough to take me back in time. A very good pick-up on your part. Mike, I wish I knew who you were, because I’d be interested in some of the music you received.
