Rock 103 WXZL Annapolis Maryland, 9 Ninety Minute Tapes from 1994


WXZL was a hard rock-progressive station in Annapolis that was taken over by WRNR. WRNR Owner Jake Einstein was the owner of WHFS back in the day. Too bad I didn't know about this station sooner, before WRNR took over. I have several tapes, 9 of them too be shared in this post. Most are in mono because the signal was so weak. But this was an awesome radio station. Long setlists and progressive in nature, leaning toward hard rock. As mentioned before, I taped these tapes, and always used either my Pioneer CT-F1000 3 head deck, or later with my Nakamichi CR1A 3 head deck. So they sound great. The fact most of these are in mono, really takes nothing away from the great music. Just elimintes the hissing due to the weak signal. Pretty cool station. Hope to hear some feedback on this post. Standy by soon for more WHFS, WGTB, and WRNR.

  1. I remember that station being on the air for a short time prior to WHFS opening up in Annapolis. It was a great time for Radio.
    but NOW as Shemekia Copeland sings in " Who Stole My Radio? "
    Radio sucks! Thanks for your efforts in posting all of these good old radio broadcasts WXZL, WHFS, WGTB. Do you have any of the old U of MD radio station broadcasts. If you can please post them too. Maybe someone will donate a copy to for you to post for the greater public audio welfare. Keep on rockin'

  3. Would it be possible to repost? Thanks for the great music - old WRNR/Rock 103 from the 90s is the best radio out there!

  5. Thank you so much for reuploading! Really good stuff on these tapes and great FM sound, too - not too overly-processed the way so much radio sounds these days!
