WORLD PREMIER AIRCHECK: Imus in the Morning - 1st Last Show on 66 WNBC New York | August 26, 1977

Courtesy of Big Apple Airchecks - Thanks!In a last-ditch effort to topple WABC as the king of Top 40 radio, this one day in August 1977 saw the firing of nearly the entire airstaff of WNBC was fired in one day as the station tried to go to a more-music approach. From the final day of the old personality approach, listen to the final Imus in the Morning program.

Imus was transferred to NBC owned WHK, where he’d play Country during a painful two-year hiatus before NBC brass decided ratings were better with Imus than without. Ironically, the second “Imus” era turned out to be far better than the first!

This recording is only available here on Airchexx!

    I listened to the Imus aircheck. What a blast!! I loved the fact that nothing was cut out, not even commercials. It was like I heard it at age 17. Looking forward to finding more stuff on your site.

    Thanks!
