It's Dec 3, 1971 and anticipation is high up on Springfield Pike as Christmas is coming early to an old hunting shack. Final equipment is set up and tests are being run. Commercials and promos are being carted up and labeled. Records are being marked and stacked. In just a few more days, it's GO TIME.

A newspaper article from this week in 1977 showcasing what WLSW was airing sports wise. Geibel and Greensburg Central Catholic in high school basketball, Notre Dame and Miami in college football, and from Mutual Sports, the NFL game of the week between the BALTIMORE COLTS and Miami Dolphins. The Colts were still in Baltimore till March 28, 1984 when they moved to Indianapolis in the middle of the night to avoid being seized by eminent domain by the city in a stadium dispute. Sneaky but they got away with it.

The "newest" of the WLSW TOP 30 charts that I still have is 38 years old, Nov 6, 1987. I noticed after the type up that something was amiss. Like only 29 songs and I out of place. Easily corrected today on your computer or phone but back then, just use a pen. Too much time to type it all over again.

We are certainly thankful for you followers and others checking in with your comments on our posts and participation in our giveaways.

In 1975, plans were being made for a Fayette County Night on Dec 7 at the Pittsburgh Civic Arena for a Penguins game. WLSW's George Von Benko helped with the arrangements along with local merchants from Connellsville and Uniontown. WLSW promoted the event heavily by giving away 50 tickets over the air and also coordinating contests with local high schools to see who could get the most students to attend. The school that won got a WLSW record hop as a grand prize. Does anybody remember what school won and who the WLSW dj's were that did that dance? I know it was 50 years ago but maybe someone could recall. Since this was near the holidays in 1975, the dance may not have been held till early 1976.

Every year, I went through our top 30 weekly charts from November of the previous year to November of the current year to figure out our top 104 most popular songs. The top 10 on each weekly chart were awarded points. Longevity in the top 10 was also taken into consideration in the songs final standings. That's as scientific as we got as every radio station, and music publication, had their own method to make up their list. Here's how WLSW FM104's top songs of the year 1985 played out.

WLSW FM104 had given away many many prizes over it's history. Prizes you would normally expect to win like records, movie passes, food certificates to various restaurants and tickets to concerts. All you had to do was "CALL IN TO WIN. SIX TWENTY EIGHT, TWENTY EIGHT, DOUBLE O" Sometimes you had to answer a trivia question to win some different prizes like books, record cleaning kits and t shirts. Then there were the promotional items that weren't given away over the air.

To promote WLSW FM104, our bumper stickers and top 30 hit lists were available for free from various local merchants and as hand outs at one of our live broadcasts. We also had pens made with our call letters and address on them. BUT, one of the more unique items we had was this Bic lighter and holder from the early 80's. There were alot more people smoking in those days and I believe we had these to give away to clients and for the station staff. I DON'T remember giving these away over the air for many good reasons.

11/19/82 is the date you heard this top 30 countdown starting at 3pm on WLSW. Looking this one over, I noticed 2 Eagles flying solo, 9 one word titled songs (5 in a row in the top 10) and Michael Jackson's first single from the yet to be released album Thriller. 7 of the 9 songs from that album would be released as singles and all would hit the top 10 including 2 number 1's. A virtual greatest hits album. Who saw that coming?
