ABOUT THIS AIRCHECK

 

This 1994 WHND aircheck (w/Keith Allen & Rob Main) recently commemorated 24 years having passed (and a little more than 24 hours before) ‘Honey Radio’ signed off the air — for good — from the Detroit radio dial.

A legendary staple for having played “All Oldies” in the Detroit metropolitan area for over 20 years, WHND, famously known as ‘Honey Radio,’ would see its last broadcast day, the following day, Friday, November 25, 1994.

(Note: The ‘last day’ WHND broadcast [with Boogie Brian] is archived in the Motor City Radio Flashbacks airchecks repository).

 

To all the ‘Honey’ Jocks — THANK YOU for all the “Good Times” and “Great Oldies” you gave Detroit all those years ‘Honey Radio’ was on the air 🙂

Dave McNea CHYR 710

*****

Dave McNea, 19 years old (pictured above; 1975), formerly was the morning personality at CHYR. He started CHEER radio in 1974. McNea’s tenure there would be brief, as he would be at the Leamington, Ontario radio station until October, 1977.

Thereafter McNea left for CHTK in Prince Rupert, British Columbia, his tenure there, nearly 3 years. Next stop was a hop over to Vernon, BC, on CKAL, a Country station 1050 on the AM dial. Having left radio 1987, Dave McNea’s final stop was at CKO-FM in Vancouver.

While CHYR was not a Detroit radio by any means, Detroiters picked up it’s AM 710 signal from across the Detroit River clearly on the dial. Having said, we remember their CHEER radio ‘brand’ and its great Top 40 sound during the 1960s and 1970s.

This CHYR aircheck is 2 of 5 recently donated to the website. These series of airchecks have become our first CHYR inclusions into the website’s repository.
