Weak in the noise here, sounded like some howling and cries into some talk.
2004 UTC: Signal is getting stronger, War of the Worlds broadcast. Many mentions of Buffalo and Lackawanna and joining the Peace Corp.

1930 UTC Budweiser commercial, YL with "This is ION Radio" ID, into the story of Dracula  8)
(S9 here with very nice sounding audio)
1950 UTC Newscast about Watergate and Richard Nixon...milk price scandal...talks on the Golan Heights
1957 UTC YL with ID, followed by OM "WKBW" talk about War of the Worlds....how it can be covered by a modern newsroom. Events remain the same.
2000 UTC Stand by for news from WKBW (Program started)
Time to kick back and enjoy the story!  :)
2005 UTC "Elenore"-Turtles (LOL!)
2009 UTC "White Room"-Cream
2013 UTC "Hey Jude"-Beatles
2034 UTC "8 Track Tape Player only $49.95!
2054 UTC "WE GOT ONE! IT'S DOWN!"  :)
2113 UTC This is WKBW in Buffalo...it's 15 minutes after midnight
2114 UTC YL with ID followed by instrumental orchestral music and "Bring Out Your Dead"  ;D
2118 UTC YL with ID and email addy
2119 UTC Sounds like a parody of Monster Mash...uncarbonated, unsaturated blood...
Time for dinner after that last song.... :-X
2122 UTC "Shakin All Over"-Johnny Kidd & Pirates version?


Interestingly, DJ "Sandy Beach" started off as "Jack Diamond" during the early Beatles era on local WSPR Springfield 1270 AM. You could write in to get your Jack Diamond Club Card and if they read your name on the air and called in to the station you could win prizes! I won a Beatles EP I wish I still had, but we played the thing to death with a nickel on the tone arm of the pressed board cheapie record player. I lost the club card a long time ago.....

Thank you very much for an enjoyable show! I heard this a couple times over the years, but it has been a long time!

SIO 455

1952 - news by OM from early 70s
1953 - 1973 Federal Energy Office was created in December 1973 so Im guessing this is a late 1973 broadcast
1959 - recreation of WAR OF THE WORLDS by WKBW
