Transmitting from West Orange NJ. - The first WHTZ site was on First Mountain in West Orange. It is also the home of WSOU and WFME.
Scott Shannon Always referred to that transmitter as the PeaShooter
The station was on that tower in Jersey for the first few days
Aug 4, finally broadcasting from the Empire State Building. Scott Shannon Always referred to that transmitter as the Flamethrower! They could be heard clearly across all or Metro New York.
The rest was history, Shannon & his crew on Z100 went from “Worst, to first” in only 74 days!
Feel free to check out some of the many other videos on the Ellis B Feaster's Radio Channel! Established in 2008! One of You Tube's oldest RADIO AIRCHECK MUSEUM with a NEW VIDEO posted daily at 3PM EST.
After over 40 years working on the radio, I have recorded lots of radio airchecks, and many from my friends as well. You'll find audio of many radio personalities who have passed away. Lots radio recordings from the 1940s, through the 2010.
We also talk about radio broadcasting. If you happen to have classic airchecks, maybe even of yourself on the air, we'd love to share it here! If you are on the radio, or do voiceovers for You Tube videos, I have tips to make your radio show or video voiceovers better!
In addition to sharing audio from my 40 years in broadcasting, we also share videos about Travel & Cruising. I share tips on how I travel cheaply, so you can do it also!

Thanks for posting this Ellis! My dad Chuck Crane was “Barry Stevens”. He passed in 2012, and to hear his voice again is pure magic. Please post more if possible.

Thanks Ellis! I must have originally missed that segment, that's why I mentioned previously that I didn't recall Dr. Christopher Reed using the name "Barry Stevens". I stand corrected!

[@EllisFeaster]

No problem. Enjoy!
