Dick Summer - “Mouth vs Ear” on WYNY New York
Dick Summer himself checked in with your webmaster recently and was kind enough to send in a few recorded goodies for our listeners. Here’s a humorous bit done on WYNY sometime in (we’re guessing here) 1975. The contest is “Mouth vs Ear”, a segment likely done before the top of the hour news.
Thanks to those who posted comments about this aircheck (below), we stand corrected - this was erroneously described as being on WNBC - an assumption made due to the fact that Summer wrote in his notes along with the airchecks that there were some WNBC airchecks, the fact that the tracks weren’t labelled and the recording sounded like an AM station… so it was just a guess on my part. As my kids would say, my bad…
Dick has his own website: www.dicksummer.com, where visitors can order many of his “Loving Touch” CDs, which carry on the theme of his 1960s and 70s radio program on WBZ. Dick is also a pilot and owns his own airplane, which he’s quite proud of and loves flying…
Just found this site. Thank you for the memories.
Its great to have Dick Summer among the thousands of others who have found and enjoy Airchexx.com!

Hi, just a couple of corrections. The station was WYNY and the year was probably 1979 or 1980. He may have even said 1980 when he was talking with “Barry Manilow.” Regardless, Mouth vs Ear was one of the things I miss most about not having Dick Summer on the radio in NYC, as well as his comedy winddown.
These Mouth versus Ear clips are from WYNY-FM and are circa 1979. The WYNY version of MvE aired Friday nights around 1130 pm to 1 am
