COAST-TO-COAST: Mystery Station ID's
Someone gave me this cassette, somewhere between 1988 and 1992. Most likely it was handed to me at one of my seminars, although it might have been mailed to me.
I don't know who made the original; I wish I could credit them. And I don't even remember who gave it to me.
I think you'll find the title to be self-explanatory. Here is Part One of a wonderful radio journey across the United States.

The 80's really were cheezy now weren't they? Geesh....
So much fun! Thanks Dan!
WOW! Thanks for the memories.
Cheezy? I suppose, but to me, it was exciting radio. Fun and energetic and nobody trying to "keep it real," which ironically sounds pretentious.
Thanks, Dan!
Hi Mr. O'Day,
That tape was a composite called "The United States Of Radio", made by Phlash Philips (now with XM) in 1987 or 1988. Some of the material came from his aircheck collection, but for the most part, he would go to each market and tape the IDs himself. To me it's a interesting snapshot of how 80s-era CHR sounded, as well as some AOR, Urban, and AC.

If indeed it was made by Phlash Phelps, I'd like to contact him. Oddly, his email address is difficult to find, even via XM.
If any kind reader has Phlash's current email address, I'd appreciate it if you'd let me know via email. (Please don't put it into a posting here.) You'll find my own email address at www.danoday.com.
Thanks.
