Wow, I'd love to hear those airchecks. As a kid in the 1960's I thought WBUX was the big time. When I started listening about 1965 it was block programmed with country (Hugh Clinton) & top 40 (Bob Hamilton, later a major player in Philadelphia, LA & Miami) & Rev. Carl McIntire each morning, plus something called the 'Auto race of the Air' with Elmer Smallwood, basically recorded car race sounds as an excuse for blocks of local spots, & religious shows all day Sunday. My friend in elementary school's Dad played steel guitar in a local country band & they played live Sat. mornings on WBUX - he said the studio was so small he had to sit on the radiator to play guitar. In the spring of 1967 the station went all country & brought in a 'professional' out of market morning man John Meder - the station had very few new records so the few 1967 hits they had played over & over (Pop A Top - Jim Ed Brown, It's Such a Pretty World Today - Wynn Stewart, etc.). Six months later WRCP AM-FM in Philadelphia went country leaving WBUX the small 'howdy friends & neighbors' classic country station, finally going back to block programming. The sponsors were limited - I can still hear the Sanitone Dry Cleaners jingle in my head that played every 15 minutes & Hugh Clinton's long reads of the Textile Discount Center spots in Quakertown. In high school I won the biggest contest prize they gave away to date - a portable B&W tv in the "Why I Listen to George Mayfair" contest. George Mayfair was afternoon dj, then Hugh Clinton left the station for a month to get his FCC license to eventually buy WCTX Palmyra, Pa. It was January so the station was on 7am-5pm, poor George Mayfair had to do the entire broadcast day by himself for a month, which started with a full hour of news - no network or audio clips, he read news wire copy for a full hour! What an amazing station - wish there was more real local radio again!
