Every so often I come back and watch this video of Kid Kelly.....before seeing this I never realized how much work and talent went into being a DJ....its not just sit there, play some records and talk a little. Weird to watch this now seeing how young he is, in his prime...and so much time has passed now. Only learned tonight, after wondering what he was up to now, he was VP of Pop Programming at Hits 1 on SiriusXM but left in 2020.

Arbitron listed this station's positioning statement without spaces so it would fit. "Z100NEWYORKSHITMUSICSTATION". When I read it, I thought it was Z100 New York Shit Music Station.
Radio was fun to listen to back then. It was very entertaining how dj's used to get creative. Now everyone sounds the same, very cookie cutter formats.
This is around the time the American style arrived here in the UK. At City FM in Liverpool we had the same jingles from JAM and so did lots of our local stations. Total buzz still to see radio done like this.
Top 40 was thr commonly used term for any station that played mostly the top 40 and a few recurrent tracks and breaking the new tracks. CHR because more of an industry term that came into vogue after the split of Top 40 into CHR and Hot AC. By the way, Hot Adult Contemporary is like taking the edgier stuff out of the playlist and appealing to women ages 25-49.
Me too . This was real and the best. z100 is awesome. I’m from England UK , USA radio is the best stunning audio crystal clear sounds the pace is my vibe full of energy
@@Globalrealestateadvisor i do i listen to radio daily it has the best radio edit cuts, early versions, original promo, and jingles, im from England UK and USA has the best radio network, Jingles and crystal clear HD Audio.
We LOVE you Kid Kelly!!!! All that positive energy, fun, and great music on the radio kept me feeling good, when most other parts of life seemed depressing, lonely, and hopeless! Will never forget it!
And interesting to see him using it with the foam OFF and subbing w/a pop filter. Most of the PD's I worked for woulda had heart attacks if they saw me doing that...ya know, "messing" with THEIR equipment...lol
@@rrsounds That makes sense. Anywhere I've worked, us jocks did not touch or change ANYTHING w/the equipment. The bosses knew that if they gave an inch, well.........
Like to hear listeners off lines. Very interesting ! Small call small game ! Good idea ! Thanks a lot but we don't do that in France, we think that listeners have are to say they are important to say "poor" live. my listeners were more than 4.9 milllions in A radio called Nostalgie in France; important
I always found it odd that when they did these anniversary shows, they left out the Alternative Era from 93-96. That was an era in Z100 history that shouldnt be ignored. As top 40 music was getting stale in the early 90s, alternative music carried the station for a few yrs. In fact , Z100 in 1995 was Rolling Stone radio station of the year, that consisted of predominantly Alternative music.
I remember this period. In some ways alternative rock became Top 40. That and R&B were the big genres at the time. But I do remember thinking it was strange that they leaned so heavily on the rock. I liked it since that's what I was listening to at the time, but don't recall if it was mixed in with other stuff (Ace of Base, Mariah Carey, etc.)? I think I was also listening to Z100, K-Rock, and WPST in Trenton NJ at the time, which was pure Top 40.
did they play the music from carts?
Tha't's when radio was great! What ever happened to the Jack Da Wack video that was on TH-cam? I can't find that anymore.

90s
What's this..."radio" they speak of?
Amazing technically. But I can barely understand what he's saying. I love hi-enetgy radio, but he's a bit too fast!
High energy radio needs to return..............Radio has DIED
Kid Kelly is the best in the business, and a true radio pioneer! I still miss hearing him on Z100 FM in New York City!
Wow, this was great!👍🏻😁

Fellow former CHR night jock here here - the music and carts kill me!
This has to be 1990
Radio was fun to listen to back then. It was very entertaining how dj's used to get creative. Now everyone sounds the same, very cookie cutter formats.
that dude knows his shit. sounds like a kid...oh, now i get it

Top of the post
Anybody know the voice on the $10,000 promo at 5:09?
I could wrong but I believe it's Brian James
It was Mitch Craig. Both Mitch and Ernie Anderson were the main ID voices of Z100 during this time period.
Isso é fazer rádio. Formato copiado pela Transamerica no Brasil nos anos 90. 👏👏👏

completely agree with ya. exciting and just grips ya ears & brain to listen. love radio like this.
can someone explain if there is a difference between CHR and Top 40 ?
CHR means Contemporary Hit Radio. The term CHR is mostly used in the radio biz, and Top 40 is mostly used among general music fans.
Top 40 was thr commonly used term for any station that played mostly the top 40 and a few recurrent tracks and breaking the new tracks. CHR because more of an industry term that came into vogue after the split of Top 40 into CHR and Hot AC. By the way, Hot Adult Contemporary is like taking the edgier stuff out of the playlist and appealing to women ages 25-49.
PURE DJ TALENT. That was back in the day when there were real DJ's running their own boards. I miss those days.
...Me too! Today nobody listen Radio for hits anymore

Was that Elvis Duran with cake on his face????
6:14, anyone a clue which song it is ?
It was a sad era when top40 radio started hiring disc jockeys that sounded like they were 12.
Hammer couldn't fill a meadow now, let alone the Meadowlands
Love watching those kick tone lights on those 99b's.
Is that Mikey Piff fighting Kelly at the beginning of the video? lol
