Filled with photos of announcers and station staff as well as studios and transmitters, they were distributed by station clients. The newest addition to our collection comes from WARD in Johnstown, PA, and is from the late 40's. There are many others from all across the US and Canada. CLICK HERE to go to the entire brochure.

Old Johnstown Radio

Reader Jerry Karson sent in this old Johnstown air check.  He says: "Here's an old radio memory from summers in western Pennsylvania. This is the kind of commercial that would play on WJAC-FM, and we'd hear it while lounging by the pool, or having a picnic at BETHCO PINES on the fabulous Quemahoning Reservoir. Sure, Rolling Rock isn't made in Latrobe anymore, and Bethco Pines is just a terrific summertime memory, but the memories (and the beer) are still pretty good."
