BUFFALO, NEW YORK BLIZZARD 1977 AIRCHECKS

Here's a recording of various radio stations from January 28, 1977 in the midst of a huge snowstorm that hit the Great Lakes region. Needless to say, there are several interesting things about this aircheck:


There are  stations in here I'd never heard of before or was at most only vaguely aware of, such as WJJL and WWBK.


There is a brief aircheck of WOKR-TV Rochester with "Bowling for Dollars."


There is an aircheck of the now defunct WQXR-AM New York, the classical music station.


I didn't know disco had penetrated that much into the culture by as early as January '77.


The name Slepian connected with Buffalo always gives me pause.


There was an incredible variety of artists featured in that Castle's commercial.


Listen to it here.
