- Our late, great friend John Mack Flanagan highlights this incredible aircheck from his days at Oldies formatted 99.7 in it's KFRC-FM incarnation. This aircheck features flawless timing, perfect execution... things that radio stations seem to have done away with for the convenience of computer automation. Yet, this wasn't so long ago? Was it?
No date on the tape, but this had to be in that 1991-1993 timeframe. I'm going to guess 1991- Nobody's mentioning 610, which wasn't yet simulcast with the 99.7 Oldies station (probably wrapping up the Adult Standards "Magic 61" era).
If John Mack Flanagan was still around, I could ask. Yet, this comes from a set of cassettes that John DID send me about a year before his induction into our exclusive Airchexx.com Disc Jockey Hall of Fame.
This tape was dirty, meaning, I performed about 6 hours of work to get it to sound as it does here. The right track had tons of dropouts and was recorded substantially lower than the left, and rather than mono the whole thing out, I resorted to some serious surgery. It's time consuming, but the nice thing is, in 2022, there are some really good software tools out there that take much of the manual work out. If I did this manually, it would have been more like 24 hours of manual work to get it sounding close to this. Yes. The tape was that bad. But, as you will hear in this 20-minute scope, this sounds almost as if you're hearing it right off the air!
This is WELL WORTH your 20 minutes! John Mack Flanagan is his personable self, and he MAKES this radio station shine! Listen, and hear why so many people loved him and admired his work! - Розваги
MISS THE OLD RADIO WAR KFRC/KYA 1260 KFRC CLEAR WINNER
Thank-you for putting this together. Great to hear John Mack Flanagan's voice again. Dr. Don Rose. Big Tom Parker. Rick Shaw. Dave Sholin. Marvelous Mark McKay. And several other DJ's during hours when I was not listening as much. KFRC had such a great line-up of DJ's in the 70's.
This is awesome!
I remember listening to John Mack Flanagan when he worked in Phoenix, AZ at 1360 KRUX on his way to the Bay. He had a great radio career. Thanks for sharing this with us.
Interesting...didn't know Phoenix was one of the farm team markets he worked in. I knew John, but I never asked him about his resume. He was done with radio when I knew him. He was head of security for a SF office building.
I loved this version of KFRC. It was a great lineup at the time with Goss and Garrett in the morning, Sue Hall, John Mac Flanagan, and if I’m correct Chuck Geiger. And on the weekends it would be Paula Kelly, Sylvia chakon, and others. And John Mack Flanagan worked on Sunday nights from 3 PM until 7 PM.
9:08 John Mack Flanagan mentions the opening of the movie "Honeymoon in Vegas," so this would be the summer of 1992.
KFRC-FM was a good oldies station, had some great jocks but compared to CBS-FM in NYC, their presentation fails. To me the all-time greatest oldies station ever programmed was Joe McCoy's CBS-FM. They really showed how an Oldies format should be done and lets not forget that during it's heyday in the early to mid-90's CBS-FM was the #1-rated music station in NYC.
KFRC 610 WAS THE BAYS BEST NOT KYA 1260 THIS IS FM SIDE NOW INTERNET AUDSEY💯❤
