Remember when that fat, fat TV Guide would arrive in the mailbox in September, the only thing telling you what all three networks were going to be programming over the next 39 weeks?

Here at Toppy, we’re not quite so awesome (though you could argue we’re just as stuck in the past!)

But just like a TV network in the 1970s, we did sort of end up not programming very much new for you in August. We have a good excuse – we were on the road a lot over the summer, collecting great heaping gobs of IDs all over the Northeast and Midwest. And while it’s not as amazing as, say, CBS’ Saturday-night lineup in 1974, we do have lots of quality material to share with you (hopefully) every Wednesday for the next few months. New England? We’ll have most of Massachusetts for you here. The entire I-80 corridor across Pennsylvania. More Chicago AMs and HD subs than you can shake a Sangean at! Youngstown! Columbus! Lima! It’s all coming your way right here on Toppy, and over at Tower Site of the Week on Fybush.com (where the 2019 Tower Site Calendar starts shipping next week – but we digress…)

And to kick things off, this week on Site of the Week and right here on Toppy, it’s all the radio stations of the Y-Bridge City, Zanesville, Ohio (and the neighboring Cambridge market, too!)

Yes, it’s these sorts of things that keep Legal ID fans up late at night.  I recently took a trip to California, so enjoy these sounds from Los Angeles, Monterey, Oxnard, and Santa Barbara, along with a few new (and one older) ID from homebase here in Fort Wayne.  Comment below and let us know your thoughts!

Over the past few months, I’ve made several trips, and recorded a few new IDs here at home.  Check out the sounds from Bloomington, Indiana, Chicago, Northwest Indiana, Fort Wayne, Indianapolis, Muncie/Marion, Indiana, South Bend, and a trip to Omaha and Lincoln, Nebraska.

In all the time since Brian started this here website, no market has come anywhere close to 1000 IDs on the site.

That changes today, with just over 1000 IDs representing that fine city of Boston, Massachusetts and vicinity.

And it would have happened much sooner if I’d had my act together, since a lot of these IDs are from Boston trips in 2016, augmented by a bunch more from a short weekend visit this past February.

We (me and RadioInsight’s Lance Venta) spent barely three hours in Reading, Pennsylvania last fall – but that was plenty of time to see a few towers, and to grab most of the IDs in town. Now to get back for a Fightin’ Phils game this summer…

(And yes, I know I’m behind on some Texas IDs, which I’ll try to get up here this weekend. NAB Show month has that effect…)

Just completed the annual NAB/Las Vegas trip, and I recorded a few IDs in various markets.  A few of these IDs are never-before-heard on Toppy.  Check out the new sounds from Detroit, Flagstaff, Las Vegas, and St. George.
