AM Radio Broadcast WKBW Buffalo, January 23, 1966

AM radio mostly stinks, but that wasn’t always so. Settle back and pretend it’s a stormy winter day in 1966. You’ve got your cocoa, and Buffalo’s WKBW is keeping you informed and entertained.

This was made from about an hour of airtime, recorded January 23, 1966 on a 1960s RCA Sound Cartridge player. To learn more about this fascinating device, please see my RCA Sound Cartridge series:    • The Huge Cassette!
