Brings back memories...I used to love listening to Alison at night on WNEW-FM back in the day...
She would put me to sleep some nights, but most nights I wanted to listen to her whole show, which sometimes I did while in HS. Loved Alison Steele and all the music that she introduced to me.
I had the pleasure of working with William B.Williams, a real gentleman and Allison...one hell of a nice lady. A lot of today's personalities could learn something from them.
Man! Hearing those radio voices again brought back such "feel good" memories growing up in the NYC Metro area in the 70s and 80s. I remember Channel 9's Lloyd Lindsay Young's zaniness too! Great times.
Last time I ran the AM dial I thought I had be transported down south of the boarder.
Lloyd and the great DJs he profiled here were great classy people....Not only are they gone but most of their listeners are also....
John R spent a few years at competitor WABC
In addition, Wolfman Jack is also deceased, so that would make four radio personalities . . .
Has anyone seen the 5th part of this anywhere?
Chumlee?
Loved WNEW 1130 AM and WOR 710 AM. WNEW AM has been gone since December 1992 and WOR 710 AM is going through changes now that will make it an awful radio station (Rambling With Gambling is ending, Joan Hamburg Show is ending) and will soon appeal to the, what else, youth market. Ugh! Nothing much left on AM radio like the great old days of the 1960s to 1980s.
WOR started falling apart in the early 2000s (crappy national shows and losing longtime sponsors to the internet). It finally died when clearcrapchannel took over in December 2012....
