Steve Sawyer, 1390 WCAT Orange, MA | March, 1983
Twenty-Nine years ago this March, I recorded this cassette on a skimmer in the studio of the old WCAT. In doing the research to find one of the old station logos, I was shocked to realize that there’s no logo, no graphic, picture or anything left of the station that I got my start in…

All the personality, jingles and hits are intact in this 10 minute scope of one of America’s best ever Top 40 stations. News with…
