WSUA Jingles

In the 1960s, WSUA used an a capella  jingle package from Pepper/Tanner. We're thrilled to include a selection of the jingles here, as donated by Jeff Ronner and restored by Buzznet Media's Anita Bonita and Russ DiBello.

Saturday Night Of Gold

A popular WSUA show in the 1970s was the Saturday Night of Gold (and later the Sunday Night of Gold). Here is a montage of promos for the show, courtesy Andy Baum, which convey the nature of this long running program. (5 minutes 32 seconds)

1976 Banquet Tape

At the end of each school year, WSUA would have a banquet during which they played a tape made especially for the occasion. These tapes would parody the station programs and poke fun at the membership, usually in a no-holds-barred fashion. This is the 1976 tape, donated by Anita Bonita. It's just over 37 minutes long (!) but offers rare insight into the behind-the-scenes aspects of mid-1970s WSUA, and well worth a listen. The tape is rife with swear words and would never be played on the air.
