I lived in the Lehigh Valley growing up but loved to tune in to WFIL . They had the coolest jocks by far. Its signal wasn’t nearly as strong but what a great station.
The slideshow is almost as interesting as the airchecks - that image of the "Big Mac Attack" van brings back memories of a car in my college's parking lot many years later - even in the mid 1980s a bumper sticker for that WFIL promo remained - somehow - on an old Ford Maverick! By then WFIL had changed formats a few times (and might have returned at that point to a nostalgic take on their Famous 56 format).I'm thinking the possibility of winning anything by having it on your car had way, way passed.
@@EllisFeaster No silly :) I love your airchecks. I was simply referring to the individual bits on this WFIL aircheck. I believe you have released them in bits and pieces previously over the years.
Great presentation nicely packaged for UA-cam. Thanks.
Used to listen while growing up in Delaware in the 70s

OMG Dave Parks from 6:40 - 7:16
All airchecks have been heard previously.
Mike Smith Are you saying you have already heard all 3000 of the airchecks I have posted?

DDR suffered a massive heart attack in September 1972 and was off the air until June 1973. Joe Niagara filled in for him and did a tremendous job.
Who cares? I still go to car shows even though I have seen them all. This was a great time in music history unlike today. I will listen 1000 times.
