This aircheck appears to be from November 1966, based on the newscast containing election results. This would have been shortly before Burt went to WAKY.
In fact, we may have audio evidence of the birth of the "Weird Beard". At about 2:45 into the aircheck, on the intro to "Winchester Cathedral", Burt refers to himself as "The Weird Beard".
And notice the transition in style from 1965 through 1966. On the earlier checks, Burt sounds like he did on the early aircheck from the small station in Indiana. By the November 1966 aircheck, though, the WB persona seems to be coming together.
These are great airchecks!
