Bob Wayne, 1050 WHN New York | November 20, 1975
Here’s a tape that came directly from the studio skimmer machine. I’ve been holding on to this since 2006, and while it’s not labelled as such, this was likely donated by Bob Wayne. He’s the jock featured in this short scope taken from a much longer recording that includes country artist C.W. McCall as a…
End of 1050 WHN / Launch of WFAN New York – Format Change. Dan Taylor & Suzyn Waldman | July 1, 1987
On July 1, 1987, America’s first all-sports station was born as Emmis Broadcasting launched 1050 WFAN in the nation’s No. 1 market. At the same time, a New York radio legend ended as 1050 WHN went off the air. Over 15 years, WHN had become a Country Music legend in New York city, with names on…
New York City Radio Dial Scan | June 1984
Back in June 1984, I was hosting an afternoon radio show in Atlantic City, NJ. To help make me better on the radio, I would make trips to New York City and record the radio stations there, hoping to learn from them. I would tune up & down the dial, trying to record as many…

Charlie Cook is heard holding down the overnight on the old 1050 WHN, Running 30 minutes, scoped, you get the feel of how “New York’s Country Station” sounded in the second half of the 1970s. Notice what Country songs were being played. Much different than the fare being heard in the 80s, just a few…
WHN Billboard Station Composite | May 30, 1977

I originally guessed the date of this as Memorial Day 1976, but as visitor Joe Crain comments below,…

Composite: 1050 WHN New York | 1980
It occurs to us in light of the brand new 94.7 Nash-FM in New York City, that there was a very successful Country station in the Big Apple some 30 plus years ago when the excitement was still on AM. Looking back, 1980 could be looked at as the era of the best ratings and…
A sample of AM drive on 1050 WHN New York | 1986
In the waning days of Country music at WHN, here’s a look at how mornings sounded just before the end. By 1987, WHN would be gone, having flipped to All-Sports as 1050 WFAN, which would move the next year in what was known as the big switch, down to 660 upon the expiration of WNBC.…
