Mark Simone on WPIX 102 New York | 1978 (2:27)

Most New York listeners will remember Mark Simone from WNEW-FM. WPIX, as heard here, is very much an Album Rock station. It would later go Top 40. There aren’t many airchecks floating around from WPIX (FM). Also, the calls have long ago changed, although they remain on the television side in NYC as WPIX-TV (WB11).

    wpix fm was notorious for its various format changes, but in 1978 program director joe from chicago pioneered, developed, and implemmented the first new wave/ alternative format. blondie, television, the rammones, the police and the sex pistols got their initial airplay on pix “new york’s rock and roll from elvis presley to elvis costello. every friday and saturday night you could catch the pix penthouse party where you would hear incredible segues of music featuring joe jackson, the standels, the b 52’s eddie cochran and the clash all mixed together for your dancing pleasure. pix fm paved the way for the commercial acceptance of alternative radio as we know it. dan neer, meg griffin, and joe from chicago executed that innovative format brilliantly paying homage also to vintage rockers jerry lee lewis, chuck berry, eddie cochran and the beatles.

    Don’t know why this jumped into my head, but I really enjoyed the station at that time.
