SPECTRUM: CJA was the official provider of tapes of the radio program "Spectrum," which was aired on international shortwave WWCR, as well as on a few U.S. stations (see http://spectrum.orn.com/ for their list of affiliates).

THE MIKE JARMUS PROGRAM On November 30, 1997, CJA became the official provider of tapes of The Mike Jarmus / Reality and Beyond Program. Mike is a talk show host who deals with paranormal, highly scientific or unexplained phenomena and recently featured a show on the "Philadelphia Experiment". The show is produced by the Omega Radio Network and was carried on WWCR - 5.070 Mhz international Shortwave at 10pm Eastern Time Sunday Night (0300 Monday UTC). Copies of the show recorded at the studio or from Real Audio (rather than off the shortwave radio) can be obtained for $12 (NEW LOWER PRICE!), each thru CJA (and the price includes postage and handling). Any future sales will benefit Rod Coppola's children. For more information on Mike Jarmus shows and guests see the new Mike Jarmus web site where a description of all shows they've aired is kept up to date.

BIG APPLE BYTES:
Big Apple Bytes were periodically issued, finely edited ("Scoped") tapes sampling Z100 and other New York City stations, sometimes including central Jersey and/or Philadelphia radio stations in the early 90's. Back issues are available from most of the 90's. More about the history of Big apple bytes is available here History

OTHER PROJECTS: CJA has been there to capture the format changes and special programs aired in New York City radio, such as the station anniversaries (i.e. Z100's 14th anniversary, run one summer), reunions, stunt formats (WZVU as "TV Radio"; WMXV as "Broadway 105"), people's first or last day (Ron Lundy's last shows on WCBS-FM, and Dan Daniel's first in midday) and the like, but not Y107 drops country for spanish.

OLD TIME RADIO: While the Central Jersey Aircheck Archives don't really contain any Fibber McGee and Molly, some OTR fans also like WOR's legendary storyteller Jean Shepherd, and the Archives do contain some tapes of his shows; click here for the list of Jean Shepherd tapes

EMPLOYMENT SERVICES: If you're online, you've taken a big step towards finding yourself a new radio job. Find the radio boards (radioinfo, FMQB, allaccess for starters) and chat rooms, go there and schmooze. Let them know who and where you are, and what you want to be doing. (To be brutally harsh, you have to do more of the work to find yourself that radio job, even if I am listed as Employment Service in the RR&D. That's because they lump, they lump, its in their head that airchecks and employment services belong together. You don't just submit your name and start doing PM Drive in Wichita two weeks out of broadcast school. (Besides didn't your broadcast school promise "lifetime placement" or did they just promise "my station went satellite" counseling?) That is to say that CJA no longer directly helps you find a job.
