What an incredible voice. Mr Doremus began this style of late night radio on WMAQ Chicago and syndicated on the BIG stations. He also 'invented' in flight music.

AFN 1963
Our friend Ernst in Germany grew up listening to AFN. Some short pieces of tape have survived the years (tape was pretty expensive at the time). So from Orleans France and The Castle here's AFN

Charlie Tuna 1973
Charlie at KHJ
Winter won't go away in the heartland. In 1973 it was a Thursday and a Charlie Tuna morning.
Wolfman Jack 1983
When I arrived in Panama, they were scheduling him late in the night. Wolf said something that made someone mad. In a very charming way.
Roger Carroll 1980
Teenage announcer at ABC, decades at KMPC and AFRTS, Roger Carroll has always been an amazing talent. In 1980 he made them the Best Sounds in Town.
I'll always be grateful for the shows he sent, and the help with getting this all online.

Mary Turner 1985
Mary Turner really rocked the house. Normally when any of the jocks got a reaction, it'd be split. The ones that were really liked would draw complaints. I never remember fielding a complaint about Mary. I remember the barracks rocking. Thank you Mary.
Herman Griffith 1965
This would have been the place to rock. Roland Bynum said that Herman introduced him to the AFRTS gig.
Andy Mansfield 1958
Andy and Virginia Mansfield share some highlights of their record collection, and they're excited about it. That always makes for great listening. Andy had to build special shed to store his collection. Hmmm...
Andy went on to do other shows for AFRTS for many years.
