Fantastic! I loved WYNY, during it's peak (1979-1986 or so)..."Dandy" Dan Daniel, Randy Davis, Dick Summers...tight programming, great jingles...truly adult MOR at it's best. Other stations (PIX, etc.) tried to copy but couldn't come close. The "kids" listened to Z-100 and PLJ. Thank you, again!! Thanks so much for this post! Fantastic!

He's on my local station (WKBK 1290, Keene, NH) every weekday morning at 7:35 and is an AMAZING guy. People call in and ask how the weather will affect their travel plans; his accuracy is uncanny.

He succeeded Larry in AM drive within a year. I've often wondered what happened there. Triple D came in about 3 weeks later to follow Larry from 9:30 to 1.

WYNY was basically the last attempt of MOR in New York. Its lineup also included Steve O. Brien and Dick Summer. I don't remember how long Kenney lasted but I don't believe it was very long. Dan Daniel may have replaced him. Within the year WYNY would become a very successful AC station under the direction of Pete Salant, modernizing the playlist and tightening up the formatics.

Larry Kenney, a super talent on a once super station, 97 WYNY! Kenney is best known for his work with Don Imus, and voice stuff, but he sure holds his own as a wake-up host. Very nice... not to mention the top shelf music of the day. Chicago, Earth Wind & Fire, Barbra Striesand, Glen Campbell, Lovin' Spoonful and more compressed oh so nicely in FM stereo makes this a real treat. Sweet audio source since this is direct from master. Thanks! Man, what a great aircheck. Larry Kenney, a super talent on a once super station, 97 WYNY!

He didn't have this aircheck, and asked if I would send it to him. I posted this on the Radio Insight Aircheck Board, and it's been downloaded over 40 times!
