The Best of 79WAKY.com Audio Set

79WAKY.com is delighted to announce our newest audio collection: "The Best of 79WAKY.com"!

We've lovingly assembled the "crème of the crop" of WAKY airchecks and audio interviews from the 79WAKY.com archives onto five 79-minute high-bitrate MP3s.

Unlike the online audio we've had to downsample for online presentation, The Best of 79WAKY.com is mastered in compact disc-like fidelity using the best source material available. Many of the airchecks included are "right off the board" or "right off the air monitor" quality.

Each non-stop CD is narrated by John Quincy and fully produced with era-specific music and authentic WAKY jingles, similar to Bill Bailey Tribute and WAKY Remembered productions.

The Best of 79WAKY.com is perfect for WAKY fans who...

  • don't have Internet access

  • want to enjoy memories of the original 790 WAKY while driving around in their car or are at another location away from their computer

  • are looking for a gift for a friend or family member with fond memories of listening to the original WAKY

  • want to have a tangible piece of WAKY history

  • would like to support our efforts to keep the 790 WAKY memories alive online
