Pat St. John, 95.5 WPLJ New York – August 28, 1975
This telescoped aircheck really doesn’t do WPLJ justice. It’s somewhat difficult to convey the sound of the station with all the music taken out, except for a few segues. Most people remember WPLJ as one of three album rock (AOR) formatted stations in the New York City area. The audio image most think of when…

Honoring WPLJ: Pat St. John, 95.5 WPLJ New York | August 28, 1975
