Gary Bridges, 66 WNBC (Stereo) New York | November, 1985

Gary Bridges was one of a large staff of known personalities, some of whom listeners had grown up with. Personalities such as Don Pardo (the voice of many of WNBC radio and television's promotions), Soupy Sales, who had been around in the 1950s and on television, Imus, who by this time was already an institution and the whole WNBC news department.

EJ (Joe) Crummey Produces and Co-Hosts the Wolfman Jack Show, 66 WNBC New York | February, 1986, Part 3

This is another in our series of AM-Stereo airchecks. WNBC used the Khan-Hazeltine AM Stereo system and while the transmitting plant itself was finely tuned and well-processed by NBC’s top-notch engineers, heard on a (then) modern, wideband AM Stereo receiver, this sounds BETTER than modern processed FM stations!

Imus in the Morning; News from Sam Hall & Charles McCord, 66 WNBC New York | August 26, 1977

EJ (Joe) Crummey Produces and Co-Hosts the Wolfman Jack Show, 66 WNBC New York | February, 1986, Part 2

Here's PART 2 in our series of AM-Stereo airchecks. WNBC used the Khan-Hazeltine AM Stereo system and while the transmitting plant itself was finely tuned and well-processed by NBC's top-notch engineers, heard on a (then) modern, wideband AM Stereo receiver, this sounds BETTER than modern processed FM stations!

EJ (Joe) Crummey Produces and Co-Hosts the Wolfman Jack Show, 66 WNBC New York | February, 1986, Part 1

Listen to how Crummey's banter and production skills make this show sound 100% live, local and relevant. This is quite amazing, especially when one realizes that in the mid-1980s, computer automation was still more than a decade away, and producing a show such as this required precision timing, quick thinking and a lot of cart (tape) machines!

Allan Beebe, Final Hour of his Final Show, 66 WNBC New York | 1985

This format pre-dates the WNBC Time Machine by a little over a year, and this is probably a few months before Howard Stern was fired and replaced by the incredibly funny Joey Reynolds. Enjoy this slice of fantastic radio, provided for you free of charge!
