Wow, a high energy, more music morning show on this ABC owned FM sister to the legendary now talking WABC. At this time, a CHR competitor to crosstown giant WHTZ Z100 and sounding larger than life, WPLJ is almost in over its head, the 3rd CHR in a race that also includes Hot 97 which is more Rhythmic. Still, Power 95 is the more mainstream of the 3 and sounds awesome in its slot.

An original recording from Matt Seinberg, the audio is crisp, an original dub from cassette preserved all these years for posterity right here. The original was unscoped but of course, we must comply with copyright law and remove the music (sorry bout that), at least at this time. You’ll still enjoy the old commercials, and not one, but TWO full newscasts. The format is tight as can be. Jingles are used sparingly, but enjoy the BIG top of hour ID. A real gem, from a time when WPLJ really tried to continue the heritage that was WABC, before throwing in the towel and going HotAC like many CHR’s of it’s time.
