AFRTS audio clip - 1989 Raiders Jets

A short clip for curious value of the 1989 Raiders-Jets game as recorded off AFRTS.
From 1986-88, I listened to games on Sunday night from 9pm, which was the earliest I could get decent reception, past midnight until Channel Four started showing games 'As live' at 11pm on Sunday nights in Sept 1989. I was a Raiders fan so stayed up to hear this Monday night game which was Art Shell's first game as coach.

Raiders fan from Leeds here! I used to do the same as you! Memories man! GO RAIDERS!

This is gold! So many times signal would be lost at pivotal moments in the game! I actually listened to this broadcast as a Raider fan!

Superb, thanks for posting, I would love to hear some more of these recordings of you have any. I have a few Patriots games from the early 90s on tape and a Bears/ Cowboys game from the season I first started listening in 1985.

I only have one C90 and digitised one side a year or two ago. Think the other side had some of the Raiders-Seattle game that was the finale to the '88 season. But I couldn't inflict any more of this on anyone.

I remember lying in bed with my headphones plugged into my stereo "listening" to this game until the early hours of Tuesday morning (had to be up for school a couple of hours after this game ended) trying not to shout too loud when Eddie Anderson ran that INT back for a score. Other than C4 NFL show at 6PM on Sundays (and the Tuesday evening show), AFRTS was the only other option to get my NFL fix back in the day. Living in Edinburgh, used to get a pretty decent reception but as you noted the signal would fade at critical moments in the game leaving me no choice but to fiddle with the radio until the reception magically returned. I got to know a lot of the AFRTS announcers due to my football obsession, Ken Allen was my fav (he was only mostly on Sunday nights) and you are right about those NFL disclaimers they played them on every break :-) I had recorded every C4 NFL broadcast from 1988-1990, sadly those VHS tapes are long gone but watching your montages brings back many memories. I remember the Cyndi Lauper montage, Phil Collins (after Daryl Rogers was fired by the Lions), Supertramp (Dreamer), Don't Get mad get even (wk1 1988), Wild Wild West, Duel and many others. Living in the USA now, the networks here couldn't hold a candle to the C4 productions back in the day. They cram in as many adverts before kickoff and then BAM kickoff! :-)

Fantastic memories Graham. Think it was similar for a whole generation of teenage boys who grew up in the 1980s and wanted something different. I digitised much of my C4 collection a decade or so ago but have never had the desire to rewatch it like I did then. Mick Luckhurst was more wooden than I ever realised, John Smith not much better. Came across Nicky Horne on BBC Radio Solent a couple of Christmases ago and there is a grey-haired, worn but easily distinguishable version of Gary Imlach still presenting Tour de France coverage. Great times but life moves on. I still keep an interest in the NFL - almost gone full-circle as I now listen to online radio broadcasts of Patriots games! The modern highlights shows are ok but I never watch them. Too targeted at the modern short-attention spans with fast montages of clips and lack of context in games. None of the magazine style interviews we used to get on Red42 in 1990

Good interview with Gary Imlach over here about how his career covering cycling began with the American football. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-WZq0JC_WZNM.html

@@mrbbshorts LOL Mick Luckhurst was a wooden as the chairs he sat on :-) Big difference from the Vicious Boys who hosted C4 NFL the year I started following NFL in 1987. Never got to see Nicky Horne's broadcasts but I know he is ingrained in British American Football lore. Cris Collinsworth broadcasts the Sunday night games on NBC and I remember seeing him on C4 way back in the day and I found one of those clips on your channel. Can't help but think C4 gave him his first opportunity after football and now he's one of the most recognized broadcasters in the States. Walter Payton was another regular on C4 shows as well but he was replaced by Gary Imlach after a couple of years. As you mentioned, life moves on but I remember those halcyon days of being a teenager in the late 80s struggling to listen to AFN radio to follow my favorite team while simultaneously hearing Spanish and opera mix with the signals :-) Living in the US I can watch any game on Sundays, oh what I wouldn't have given for that luxury back in the day and of the course the Internet too. No more waiting for my weekly edition of First Down and monthly edition of Touchdown to get my "latest" football news :-) Love your channel and the videos bring back many fond memories for me, thanks for posting them

@@mrbbshorts Wow that is a blast from the past! Haven't seen Gary Imlach since the C4 days!

@jonwillou 3 года назад

The Spanish football or opera used to interfere with my reception a lot. Anyone else accidentally pull headphones out and broadcast this to the house at 3am ?

@DOGNOGGER 3 года назад

Yes. I was listening to 49er games at 3 or 4am with school the next day. The other issue was putting on the light which caused interference with the radio which could wake the house too.

@mrbbshorts 3 года назад

I can remember listening to a rare Thursday night game in November 1986 between the Raiders and Chargers. An absolute classic with I think the Chargers coming back from 31-10 down to take the game into overtime then Marcus Allen scored on a 28yds rushing TD ! Must have finished at well past 5AM and I had my mock English exam the next day ...

@DOGNOGGER 3 года назад

@@mrbbshorts yes I remember that game. Didn't Raiders lose in OT the next week versus Eagles. Marcus fumbled which started his fallout with AD

@mrbbshorts 3 года назад

@@DOGNOGGER That's the one. Had started the season 0-3 got it back to 8-4 and then lost to the Eagles and next 3 games including a loss to the Colts who'd started 0-13 ! Finished out 8-8. I've always said the Eagles game was the moment the Raiders legend ended.

@mrbbshorts 3 года назад

Grab a copy of "It's only a bruise" by Rob Huizenga if reading about how AD treated the players appeals. Stories about how he screwed Steve Beuerlein over and the misdiagnosis of Bo's hip.

@DOGNOGGER 3 года назад

Nice. The reception was worse in Ireland

@mrbbshorts 3 года назад

That'll be because you were closer to the Spanish bloke in Mexico and further away from the AFN in West Germany !! :-D
