For my yearly tradition, I am re-posting this Halloween special with permission from the good folks at WWKB.
It is the 1973 “War of the Worlds” broadcast from WKBW 1520 in Buffalo, New York featuring D.J. Shane Brother Shane. For me, it shows 70s radio at its finest. A time when DJ’ing was an art and the greatest radio stations in the world were broadcasting on AM frequencies.
The player will play the show in it’s entirety, 36 chapters, which includes several commercials from that era. I hope you enjoy listening to this as much as I have. (You will need the flash player activated to listen to the broadcast.) There are four other stories after the “War of the Worlds ” which are equally enjoyable. If you want to skip any part of the broadcast just click the next chapter arrow.
