The files on this site are provided as a tribute to one of the great radio personalities of our time, Rege Cordic, whose Cordic and Company morning program on KDKA radio brought laughter and entertainment to the residents of Pittsburgh and surrounding areas. These recordings were made during 1963 using the first reel-to-reel tape recorder I ever owned, prior to my family's departure from the Pittsburgh area. The tapes were 'ripped' to WAV files to preserve the original quality, then converted to variable bit rate (VBR) MP3 files to save storage space, using the open source audio utility program CDex v1.51 (see http://cdexos.sourceforge.net/). While the original recordings were not made under the greatest of conditions (alligator clips on the speaker leads of my AM radio), I hope you will find the recordings to be more than adequate. I am happy and honored to be able to make them available to all on this site. Enjoy! Click here to visit the page with links to my files. Below are some links to Cordic and Company sound files on this site that were made available to me from other sources. DON'T THROW REGE AWAY! Do you have some old recordings of Rege on reel-to-reel tapes or other media, but don't have the equipment to make digital transfers of the recordings? Before you pitch those old tapes into the trash, PLEASE contact me at the link below! I still have a reel-to-reel tape recorder and a cassette recorder, and can help save the material you have and add it to this site. I'll even make you a CD-ROM of the recordings for your own collection. If I don't have the right equipment for your particular media, I'll try to find someone who can do the transfer. And if you have any old friends who may have listened to Rege when they were in Pittsburgh (I'm told he had an 85% share of the morning radio audience at one time), ask them if they know of any recordings. Time may be running out to save these recordings for posterity. You can help us preserve as much of the Cordic and Company legacy as we can. Email me with any information you may have or just send me your comments!
