New Contributor Cecelia Taylor-Hunt sent in over 90 minutes of Bill Lee on “The Beat of New York”. Before you say, ‘this isn’t top 40’, you really must listen.
103-5 KTU is doing some killer promotions around this time, and remember, this was 1997, and all the consolidation which ruined even the big stations hadn’t happened yet! KTU has jingles, killer imaging and even better jocks! Listen as Bill Lee puts his wife on the phone, reminding him (and the listeners) that Al Bandiero is getting married! And incidently, Mr. Bandiero is on KTU after Broadway Bill Lee – and don’t we wish we had the audio for THAT!

Killer K !
Obviously from a cassette tape with the speed a little off. Almost doesn’t sound like Bill! Haha
Several years back, KTU had a subchannel that played country. Currently, NYC’s country station is WNSH, based in New Jersey (Newark, I think). I believe it’s 94.7 FM. I know for a fact the call letters are WNSH. KTU also sent me a t-shirt back in ’98. They also invited me to visit. I live in West Virginia, but if I’m ever in Gotham, visiting KTU will be one of my first orders of business.
KTU was at 92.3 up until ’85. Now 92.3 is CBS-owned and is CHR.
Thanks for posting, Broadway is the best and Bill Schultz Promos, loved being Image Voice for KTU late 90’s, early 2000’s, always a blast!
