Early 1960's WICC jingles. Back in the day when someone actually cared what the station sounded like.
	"WICC, 60 on your dial, WICC, service with a smile"	"From the weatherman at WICC, heres what the weather is gonna be"
	"WICC, national voice, listeners choice, WICC Hi-Fi"	"The music's great, the music's really great"
	"The liveliest sound for a thousand miles around, WICC"	"The national voice, the peoples choice, WICC"
	"This is modern radio.....WICC, channel 60 on your dial"	"The clock at WICC brings you the right time....(ding)"

On Air Bloopers and other historic audio. Some files may be large, but definately worth the time for the download. Did this stuff really go on the air? I give you my word!
	"HOW DO YOU SPELL WICC?" This is not a joke, but an actual caller during a medical talk show in the mid 90's. This woman wanted to write to the doctor and asked to spell everything.
	"HOW DO YOU SPELL SNOW?" Even worse is one of the station announcers that just can't seem to concentrate on what he's doing rather than how manly he sounds.
	"CAN I VACUUM?" Fiasco day, and all because the board op won't wear headphones. Listen as he fumbles with the wrong mic pot and accidentally turns on the wrong studio, which is in the process of being vacuumed. The fun doesn't end there.....listen. (Our apologies and thanks to WICC's Becky Soukup, a good friend and a fine reporter, who, unfortunately, always seemed to find these snafu's happening when she was on the air, and who cringes everytime she hears these air checks, but still allows us to post them.)
	"WHAT'S THAT?" It's the traffic plane pilot talking to the engineers. It got on the air because the same brain surgeon board op exited the control room during the news to have a smoke, and left the board's traffic pot still up and on. (Our apologies and thanks to WICC's Becky Soukup, a good friend and a fine reporter, who, unfortunately, always seemed to find these snafu's happening when she was on the air, and who cringes everytime she hears these air checks, but still allows us to post them.)
	"SAY GOODBYE TO THE DAYS INN" Mark Edwards was live on the air reporting the scene live from the roof to radio legend Al Warren on a Sunday morning. Suddenly the explosive charges for the implosion started, and this is the actual audio from the handie talkie that went over the air.
	"DEATH OF PRINCESS DIANA" Mark Edwards broke the official news in Connecticut within 8 seconds of the message hitting the AP wire.
