Our summer 2017 travels didn’t take us to any tower or studio sites in the Colorado Springs market – we were there for non-radio reasons, as it happened – but we had the radios running like crazy out in the car to get as close to a complete sweep of IDs as we could. (It was long overdue!)

(There’s one major local station missing here, but it wasn’t our fault. They didn’t do a legal in 85 minutes of airchecking them across a Sunday afternoon.)

We’re still putting up more Denver pictures over at Site of the Week – but we’re out of Denver IDs from our 2017 trip! So we reached back into the archives for some older material that hadn’t made it to Toppy yet…and we invite you to enjoy a big pile of Atlantic City and Salisbury-Ocean City IDs from summer 2016. The Atlantic City stations have stayed pretty stable, but there have been a bunch of changes in and around Salisbury that we need to get back to the shore to record this summer!

This week’s update finds your editor still fried from filing translator applications for clients (all done!) – but in the meantime, here’s the rest of the Denver FM dial as I recorded it on my August 2017 visit. Again, there are one or two that went astray, in particular no legal from 106.7 KBPI, a few months before the KBPI rock moved to 107.9 up in Fort Collins and a co-channel Denver translator, allowing 106.7 in Denver to become country “Bull.” And I think I missed a couple of HD2 IDs, as well, which may yet turn up.

Meanwhile, you can see where all those iHeart IDs originate on this week’s Tower Site of the Week. (More Denver pics to come on Friday over at fybush.com.)

“How many are there?!?!”

A lot. I just uploaded IDs from 25 stations (26 if you include one in-market simulcast, 27 if you include one more out-of-market simulcast), comprising nearly the entire Denver AM dial, as recorded in August 2017. And there’s one more (KGNU 1390) that simulcasts an FM, so you’ll hear that ID when we continue our Denver uploads next week.
