In the mid 1980s, New York’s 66 WNBC was full of big on air personalities! Don Imus, Soupy Sales, Howard Stern, Wolfman Jack, Alan Colmes, & Joey Reynolds. Joey took over the afternoon show when Howard was fired, which had to be pretty stressful. If he was stressed, he never showed it. You did hear a bit of stress in his voice on the day of this aircheck, when the WNBC N-Copter went down in the Hudson river, as traffic reporter Jane Dornacker was doing a live traffic report. Joey was not sure what happened what happened, and when the report abrutly stopped, Joey, who was not sure what to say, played a record. It’s a bit of a tough listen, but it was what thousands of New Yorkers heard that afternoon -Ellis
