Dan Ingram’s 40th Anniversary, 101.1 WCBS-FM New York | July 7 2001
I can remember listening to Dan Ingram’s 20th anniversary on 77 WABC, back in July 1981. WABC really threw a party for Ingram. Lots of audio from Ingram’s past, Ingram shared stories from his career, and lots of guests dropping in. Among the guest, Howard Cosell and many of the jocks Big Dan worked with…
Chuck Leonard, 77 WABC New York | August 3, 1979
This aircheck goes back to the final few years of MusicRadio 77 WABC. We find a lively Chuck Leonard playing the hits of ’79. WABC seemed to play a lot of Disco music in 1979, but by the time of this aircheck in late summer 1979, the stations seems to be starting to play fewer…
Alan Colmes with guest Cousin Bruce Morrow, 66 WNBC New York | January 1987
Long before Alan Colmes hosted Hannity & Colmes on Fox News, Alan spent decades on the radio, mostly in New York. His radio career took off when WABC hired him for the morning drive slot. He was billed as “W. Alan B. Colmes,” & replaced Ross & Wilson. He spent time on air at…
Ron Lundy on Musicradio 77 WABC New York | Jan 1979
It’s the“WABC Disco Era!” Many people consider this the beginning of the end of Musicradio 77 WABC. In December 1978, the new Disco 92 WKTU defeated WABC in the Arbitron ratings. It was the first time an FM station had beaten WABC. Around the country, FM radio stations were beginning to overtake AM music stations,…
Howard Stern with Don Imus on 66 WNBC New York | 1983
66 WNBC’s format from 1983 to 1987 was one of the most entertaining and best all-around radio that may have ever done in New York. Perhaps anywhere. You got music, information, & laughter. This is what radio was SUPPOSED to be like, and WNBC actually got it right! You had personalities like Soupy Sales, Alan…
Don Imus, John Lennon Tribute on 66 WNBC New York | 1981
When we think of Don Imus, we normally think of outrageous stunts, rants, & hi-jinks. But you’ll hear a different Imus on this short 66 WNBC aircheck, as Imus presents a tribute to one of his musical heroes, the late John Lennon. He does awesome job saluting the former Beatle. It’s rare to hear…
Dan Ingram, 77 WABC New York | December 1978
It’s December 1978. Many people consider this the beginning of the end of Musicradio 77 WABC. Right around the time of this aircheck, WABC was days away from being knocked off of it’s perch at the top of the ratings. The new Disco 92 WKTU will defeat WABC in the Fall 1978 Arbitron ratings…
Sergio Dean,107.5 WBLS New York | September 1983
Sergio Dean was one of those unsung heroes of NY radio. He came to New York after programming ZBF in Bermuda. He spent almost 30 years on air in New York, with much of that time in morning or afternoon drive. He started at WWRL in the 1970s as Program Director & AM drive. He…
