Lived in NYC at the time. It was FANTASTIC ! Made all of us have such a wonderful time The 80's !

Aqui empezó todo!!!... Larga vida a la Radio Juvenil en Colombia de los 80s y 90s!..... Viva la Superestacion 88.9.y Veracruz Stereo!

That brought back some memories. In middle school, this station was all anyone listened to. It went on the air around when I started 7th grade and it rocked our world. Esp. when they started giving away $100 every hour. Hey, that was a lot of money to a kid!

R.I.P. JR Nelson... :(

These were the good old days!

I lived in upstate New York from 1985- mid April 1992. In April 1992 I moved to Rapid City, South Dakota the closest radio station to Z100 was HIT100 KGGG-FM and they had a similar morning program called the Breakfast Flakes with Tom Collins and Brian McDaniels. HIT100 unlike Z100 has went through personality and a format changes since January 1994 (They're now Classic Rock The Fox 100.3 with new call letters). Morning Zoo and Breakfast Flakes are ironically same sounding.

wow, these guys were awesome!

Awesome!!thx!!!

I used to love Scott Shannon on Z100. Anybody remember the parody song "My Wife Left Town with a Banana"?

Scott Shannon also does The True Oldies Channel at various stations.

HAPPY 25TH ANNIVESARY Z 100!

Looks so complicated... I love it

great memories!

What I'd like to know is, who thought to record this on camera, and why? I'm glad someone did though; brings back memories.

yeah... mr leonard and his lime green pinto. i too always wanted to know who did the voice. anybody remember "rock me mr. leonard" made with falco's "rock me amadeus" song?

HAPPY 30TH ANNIVERSARY Z100

Promo VO on this aircheck is the late Len "Boom" Goldberg who worked at Malrite sister station WMMS/Cleveland.

Great! We need some thing like Scott &Co in UK. . .. . .UK commercial radio is corporatized, as is US radio now. Ya think you're listening to local jock, and it's some guy a 100 miles (or more) away & is on a network of 7 - 10 stations. And the commercials???? Jeeeezzzz.....they go on forever! Not like when I was with KQV. . .spot announcement,max 2 30" spots or the kids would tune away. Thank you for posting this informative video!

Hey cool! John Bell and Joey Reynolds!

OH YEAH they used to always say "PHRASE THAT PAYS" on z100. i forgot about that, I heard it a lot when Rich Davis used to say that, (in the late 90's and early 2000)

That looks like hard work; lots of plates to keep in the air.

z100 ftw!!

"Fish Heads" By Barnes and Barnes was the Mystery Oldie? BTW, One half of Barnes and Barnes was Bill Mumy of "Lost In Space" fame!

TM Male Jingle Singers: New York's hit music! SCOTT SHANNON! Z100!

You cant put these dudes down... carts and manual recording calls as we as voicebreak build was hard as hell..

Mr. Leonard voice is John Rio.

I'm wondering if JR Nelson did the voice... I do know the name "Mr Leonard" came from a visit JR made to Nova Scotia - It was a store in Yarmouth, Nova Scotia... I doubt it is still there.

Damn, I miss the eighties.

That voice, he was from Cleveland. Kid Leo?

This was 28 years ago.

love scott shannon.. I love him to death and though he is now with WPLJ. He inspired me to go to broadcasting school.. Wish he would have hired me, lol!!!

Does anyone know who did the voice of Mr. Leonard and whatever happened to him. ?? That character was so funny and weird.

& Then Later Ernie Anderson Went To Do The Voice Of Z100 In The Mid & Late '80s.

Notice Z100 is manual, now they are automated.

They had the balls to play Barnes and Barnes (Billy Mumy of "Lost In Space" fame was one half) and their Big Hit "Fish Heads"!

IT'S LIKE A BATTERY CAR!!!!!!!!!!

Joey Reynolds was the #1 jock in Buffalo at the late, great KB Radio 1520. His changeover with after drive DJ Dan Neaverth was mandatory listening every night at 7pm. I miss those days...

Haha John Bell's hair was already gray in 1983, and still going strong today.

omg JOHN BELL?!!!

Thank God for Stern!!!

This was Thanksgiving 1983

If you saw that news guy on the street you'd never think he sounded like he does themojoman(.)com

Len The Boom Goldberg!

John Rio
