WCAP Radio Days 1984

Here’s a classic [proving that 'classic' does not necessarily confer 'talent'] aircheck from December 5, 1984 at WCAP (980 Lowell). It’s unedited so you can hear lots of pops from when the “skimmer” aircheck tape deck turned on and off. Skimmer only record whenever the mic was on and goes into ‘pause’ mode when the mic it turned off. I worked at WCAP for many years. Even when working elsewhere, with few exceptions, I held down radio shifts at WCAP from around 1981 until 2000. Darlene McCarthy, the news anchor on this audio, is now the weekend news anchor for 7 NBC (WHDH TV Boston). Darlene has been a very successful news anchor for many years. During that time at WCAP Darlene and I shared the 6 pm. to midnight shift; I was the music guy and Darlene did top of hour news throughout the evening. It was clear, during her time at WCAP, that Darlene would go very far and she was a pleasure to work with. Download audio file (Bill_ONeill_on_WCAP_980_Lowell_1984.mp3)
