Boston Afternoon Radio Dial Scan | Tuesday June 19, 1984
On June 19, 1984, I was walking around Boston, from the Harbor, to Copley Place. I had never been to Boston, so I was soaking everything in, from the historical sites, the city’s architecture, to the radio stations. I was carrying a small radio with a built in tape recorder. I spent the afternoon listening…

As a young kid in the 1970’s, I would lie in bed at night, with my transistor radio next to my ear, listening to clear channel stations from around the country, like WLS, WWL, & WABC. 1520 KOMA in Oklahoma City was one of those clear channel stations, with a protected 750 mile nighttime signal…
Howard Stern on 66 WNBC New York | 1983
In 1983, WNBC was riding high in the ratings! Before Z100 arrived, it was the #1 contemporary music radio station in New York. WNBC’s format in the years 1983-1986 was one of the most entertaining and best all-around radio that was ever done in New York. Perhaps anywhere. You got music, information, laughter; WNBC IMHO,…
Ron Lundy on Musicradio 77 WABC New York | Jan 1979
It’s the“WABC Disco Era!” Many people consider this the beginning of the end of Musicradio 77 WABC. In December 1978, the new Disco 92 WKTU defeated WABC in the Arbitron ratings. It was the first time an FM station had beaten WABC. Around the country, FM radio stations were beginning to overtake AM music stations,…
