WAXY-FM Miami 1988

I found the following clip here. One of the songs was our wedding song...I'll let you guess which one. This was the year I moved from Miami to Atlanta, and I can vaguely remember this personality.

Remember the days of having a real person doing the overnight shift? Here's the aircheck.

WHYI-FM Miami 1984

This is a scoped aircheck of the Sonny Fox morning show on WHYI-FM, also known as Y100. In the 70s and 80s, Y100 was a juggernaut. Here's the history of the station.

A little bit about how Sonny arrived at Y100:

In 1982 Bill Tanner and Jim Reihle left Y-100 for WASH-FM/Washington, DC. To replace him, Sonny Fox and Ron Hersey were recruited for mornings from crosstown WSHE-FM. Using a blend of parody songs, phony commercials, and impersonations of local and national celebrities and politicians Fox, Hersey, "Captain Y", and John "Footy" Cross led the morning show to its highest ratings ever.

In 1987, Hersey moved on to mornings at WNVZ-FM/Norfolk, WAPW-FM/Atlanta and KKFR-FM/Phoenix where he worked with Danny Bonaduce. Fox left the following year and moved to mornings at KHYI-FM/Dallas (Y95) with Bill Murphy and Joannie Siani.

Fox is now on the XM/Sirrus Comedy Channels, Hersey on WFTL-AM in Miami.

WAXY-FM Miami 1984

These are commercials from WAXY 106 from the early 80s. (1984?) Later on, the station changed their name to WAXY 105.9 recognizing that radios needed to be tuned into the exact dial position. I would suspect the repositioning was also due to ensure that Nielson families (for ratings) entered "105.9" in their diaries.
