Glenn Morgan on WXLO 99X New York | March 1, 1978
Big thanks to “Magic” Matt at Big Apple Airchecks for some pristine audio of 99X!
This is from the end of the best era (IMHO) of WXLO in the days of Disco music and a very heated competition between 99X and crosstown, cross-band 77 WABC. Glenn Morgan Is certainly one of the more subdued jocks on staff.
Listen for a break from Al Bandiero at the end of this aircheck!

I believe this WBAB aircheck was recorded in the evening rather than the morning. If you listen closely, the jock seems to mention the evening. Plus, Bob Buchman, who is mentioned, was WBAB’s longtime morning man before moving to WAXQ NYC.
This is an excellent air check with disc jockey Glenn Morgan. I like his smooth style, and the memorable songs.
Alas,to my recollection this is not the same Glenn Morgan who at the time was program director of WABC.
The Glenn “Bumper” Morgan on this 99x aircheck,
is the late Fred Merrin, he was P.D. and did the
midday shift at “The Big E”, WENE in Binghamton,
N.Y. when we worked together in the mid ’70’s.
After working at WPIX and WNBC, He relocated to
Pittsburgh where he worked on air until his
passing almost two years ago.
