Les Davis, 1560 WQEW New York | October 15, 1998
After the demise of Big Band and Standards on the old WNEW AM “Eleven Three Oh”, a group of jocks approached the ownership of Classical WQXR about starting up a Standards format to fill the void left by WNEW. What happened next was a wonderful warm station with glowing personalities and a format that to…

Chuck Leonard, WRKS 98.7 Kiss-FM New York | November, 1987
Courtesy of Big Apple Airchecks, here’s Chuck Leonard (WABC, WQEW)and a reasonably short scope (just a few breaks) of Mr. Leonard and a lot of historically significant advertisements. The imaging isn’t over the top here, but the music was certainly edgy for its time. If you remember 98.7 Kiss (they DON’T call it Kiss-FM here)…

Jonathan Schwartz, WNEW 1130 New York | January 12, 1975
Schwartz does here what he was best known for. Weaving stories in between juggling jazz records.

Jonathan Schwartz, “A Tribute To Baseball”, WNEW (AM) New York | January 31, 1988
Here’s something totally different. About four years before AM 1130 changed to Business News Radio WBBR, WNEW was programming ‘other’ things besides American Popular Standards. Jonathan Schwarz was an incredibly talented personality, and one whose name is very familiar, seems to not be nearly as memorable as the Rock N Roll variety of jocks. I…

QuickChexx: Chuck Leonard, 107.5 WBLS New York | Summer, 1989
Contributor Robyn Watts struck gold sending these countless editions of “California Aircheck” tapes to us here at Airchexx! Featured here is a QuickCheck – under five minutes scoped of the late Chuck Leonard (WABC, WRKS, WBLS, WQEW). Chuck is so comfortable doing this format its as if he totally belongs here among the WBLS family.…

Mark Simone, WNEW Stereo 1130 New York | Undated
We can’t pin down the date of this – but perhaps someone can. Mark Simone is the personality for this, the last and best era at the great Eleven Three Oh WNEW. I’m guessing it’s sometime in the 80s. Andy Williams is Simone’s call-in guest. What a well-done radio station this was! WNEW was anything…
