Big Mack, 1250 WTMA Charleston | April 30, 1982
For many years, 1250 WTMA was a Pop powerhouse in Charleston. WTMA flipped to a Top 40 format in the early 1960s and was hugely successful. As the late 70’s approached, WTMA’s numbers started to falter, as was happening to many AM Top 40 stations around the country . WTMA morphed in to an…
Dan Ingram, 77 WABC New York | January 22 1979
The dreaded “WABC Disco Era!” Many people consider this the beginning of the end of Musicradio 77 WABC. In December 1978, the new Disco 92 WKTU defeated WABC in the Arbitron ratings. It was the first time an FM station had beaten WABC. Around the country, FM radio stations were beginning to overtake AM music…
Howard Hoffman, 77 WABC New York | January 1980
In late 1979, the winds of change were blowing through MusicRadio 77 WABC. People were spending more time listening to FM radio, and the once mighty WABC, was seeing it’s numbers drop. WABC management thought changes were needed save the station. One of the most painful parts of that transition was what has become known…

Greaseman, DC101 WWDC Washington | 1985
There are three radio personalities, who normally work alone, who have blown me away with what they can do on the radio. All 3 make it look so easy. First is Gene Shepherd, who would tell stories on the radio every night on WOR, and he kept me riveted for a whole hour. Second…
Salute to American Radio, BBC Radio 1 London | July 4 1976
In the mid 1960s, there was nowhere easy for British youngsters to listen to rock ‘n’ rollers like The Beatles, The Who and The Rolling Stones. Commercial radio wasn’t yet an option, and the guardians of the publicly-owned British Broadcasting Corporation considered such music immoral, antisocial and unfit for public broadcast. Off shore Pirate stations…
FINAL Dan Ingram Radio Show, 101.1 WCBS-FM New York | September 16 2007
I’m warning right up front, that this aircheck is a little hard to listen to. It’s Dan Ingram’s final radio show. WCBS-FM had returned to it’s “modified Oldies” format 3 months earlier, after the Jack FM debacle. Dan was invited back to host a weekend show. You can hear Dan’s wit is still intact,…
Dan Ingram FIRST SHOW, 101 WCBS-FM New York | October 19 1991
If you grew up in the metro New York City in the 1960s, or 70s, you probably listened to Dan Ingram. He hosted afternoon drive on WABC for 20 amazing years. (He also hosted morning drive for one year, but everyone seems to have forgotten that!) After Musicradio 77 left us in May 1982,…
