Greg Scott, KQV Pittsburgh August 1, 1966 (0:31:15)

… Another week, full of fun-lovin’ for ya …
Greg Scottcourtesy John Rook [Description by Uncle Ricky] Yes, he says The Dave Scott Show. But you must listen carefully to this one – it is The Dave Scott Show with Greg Scott on KQV Pittsburgh, on August 1, 1966. He says so (“it’s Greg Scott on the Dave Scott Show”) at 30:17 into this exhibit. John Rook writes that “Greg grew up listening to his dad and delighted Dave when he also became a KQV on air talent.” Greg Scott was the son of Daddy Dave Scott. Charles Osgood and the ABC News report, bracketed by KQV newsman Al Julius, (starts at 5:51) is a standout feature of this unscoped 30-minute treasure. Remember the Austin (TX) Tower incident? And check out the progressive 1966 playlist! I mean, The Animals followed by Tommy McClain was obviously way too diverse for regulated radio — or was it just plain old Top 40?

Welcome to the new ReelRadio!

This site is now operated by the North Carolina Broadcast History Museum. 

We want to thank the board of ReelRadio, Inc. for their stewardship since the passing of the founder Richard Irwin in 2018.  It has not been easy and they have maintained the exhibits for future generations to enjoy.

I met Richard Irwin, aka Uncle Ricky, when we were freshmen at East Carolina University.  We both had worked at local stations in our hometowns.  No one was more passionate about radio, especially Top 40 radio, than my friend Richard. 

Our goals with this site are to preserve the exhibits and make them available free of charge for people to enjoy.  Over time, we hope to add some airchecks to the site.  This will not happen immediately.  Time and resources will determine the future of new exhibits. 

Many thanks to the web folks at the Beasley Media Group for countless hours of work.  Again thanks to the board members of ReelRadio, Inc. for their faith in us. 

Richard Irwin’s hope was that his site would live on long after his passing. He said, “I hope REELRADIO will survive as my contribution to the ‘radio business’. The business is allowed to forget me, but the business should never forget the great era of radio that we celebrate here”.

We remember Richard and we thank him. If you enjoy this new site, we would appreciate a contribution. We hope you enjoy the new ReelRadio!
