It was a treat for listeners, and while pre-produced by then Production Director Johnny Donovan (himself a jock during the MusicRadio 77 years), it also gave the talk show…
Honoring WPLJ: Pat St. John, 95.5 WPLJ New York | August 28, 1975
This is a surprising aircheck. For those of you who remember WPLJ as a ‘hard rock’ station, this should dispel that myth. WPLJ was an Album Rock station. Or, “Progressive” as the purists would insist. Notice that Pat St. John says the slogan, “New York’s Best Rock”. Well, in 1975, the very term “rock” applied…

Al Dixon, 1600 WAPX Montgomery | February 24, 1975
