Ken Gilbert, WAQY “Wacky 102” Springfield MA | July 4, 1981

Ken Gilbert on “Wacky 102” circa 1981 Ken Gilbert has had a long career in radio, all of it in the New England region. Ken is best known for doing middays at WAQY Springfield in it’s top 40 incarnation as “Wacky 102” and at WDRC AM-FM Hartford in its top 40 and Oldies iterations. As a personal gift to Ken, I’ve started re-mastering his skimmer tapes from the WAQY studio. For the average listener,…

Glenn "FM" Stevens, WAQY "Wacky 102 FM" Springfield MA | 1980

Paul DiMarco sent this in a long time ago. In fact, we first published this gem in 2004! Listen again to Glenn "FM" Stevens, WAQY "Wacky 102 FM" Springfield MA from sometime in the Summer of 1980!

New contributor Paul DiMarco sends this original aircheck right off the source reel. We have a longer version of this which includes Ken Gilbert which was donated by Rick Kelly (northeastairchecks.com), but this particular copy is so clear and crisp its worth re-posting.

Glenn “FM” Stevens was part of a tight-knit group of jocks who made up the airstaff of WAQY’s Top 40 incarnation in its final…

WAQY & WNHP Studios, Longmeadow Mass.

Here’s a somewhat noisy and less than a stellar recording made some 45 miles north of Springfield, Mass...The recording unit was an 80s-vintage Sony boombox and the tape used was Maxell UR 90 minute cassette. As sometimes happens, the tape didn’t retain the bright sound it once had. Considering the amount of ‘white noise’ on this recording, it probably…

Glen "FM" Stevens, 102.1 WAQY Springfield | March, 1980

Glen “FM” Stevens, 102.1 WAQY Springfield | March, 1980

Contributor Glen Rappolt gives us a great sample of the great “Wacky 102″, a Top 40 station that most people in Southern New England over 45 remember very well. The station boasted a fun airstaff which included Jim “The Big Tuna” Kaye, Ken Gilbert, our contributor Glen “FM” Stevens, WRKO Boston star Mike Addams and more! This station truly was under-rated, as it seemed that Wacky 102 was…
