- Bruce Morrow - Cousin Brucie’s FINAL SATELLITE SHOW - August 1 2020
It’s Legendary radio personality Bruce "Cousin Brucie" Morrow.
Cousin Brucie became synonymous with rock and roll during his 13 years at 77 WABC New York, in the 1960s and '70s.
He then moved on to WNBC for a few Years, got into radio ownership, and then spent 23 years at 101.1 WCBS-FM playing the oldies, before moving on gig at SiriusXM.
Morrow, has hosted oldies shows on the satellite-radio provider since 2005, most recently "Cruisin' with Cousin Brucie" on Wednesdays. and "Cousin Brucie's Saturday Rock and Roll Party" on Saturdays.
At 84 years old, Morrow indicated he was not retiring, and that he expected to be broadcasting again at some point, adding that he and his wife Jodie were taking a month off to relax.
Towards the end of his show, you can hear him get a bot emotional as he feels this era of his career coming to an end.
The big question everyone was asking in August 2020 is where is he going. My guess, weekends on WABC, because Bruce motions in this aircheck that his career is going full circle.
You can tell me where you think he’s going in the comments below.
Feel free to check out some of the many other videos on the Ellis B Feaster's Radio Channel! Established in 2008!
One of You Tube's oldest RADIO AIRCHECK MUSEUM with a NEW VIDEO posted daily at 3PM EST.
After over 40 years working on the radio, I have recorded lots of radio airchecks, and many from my friends as well.
You'll find audio of many radio personalities who have passed away. Lots radio recordings from the 1940s, through the 2010.
We also talk about radio broadcasting. If you happen to have classic airchecks, maybe even of yourself on the air, we'd love to share it here!
We also share videos about Travel & Cruising. I share tips on how I travel cheaply, so you can do it also! Find me on Facebook: / ellisairchecks
One of the last direct links to my childhood. I listened to him almost every weekday evening on WABC when I was a kid. He and Dan Ingram made radio fun to listen to. Thanks for all the good times, Cousin, till we meet again. 👍
Good thing he’s back on wabc 77!
Many have come and gone but cousin Brucie keeps the hits coming God love him imagine when he gets to heaven it won't be boring he will rock the house
OMG listened him for years on WABC on long island LOVE HIM
Hey Cousin, your one of the best, thru the many decades the smiles you put on people’s faces and the great shows all those evenings and holidays, the great times with the 77 wabc & 101.1 Wcbs DJs, we couldn’t have asked for more.
God blessed us with you
Sure glad Brucie and I are cousins. All the best in your next adventure!
My Favorite Cousin
A true treasure of R&R radio..none better❤
Bruce is going to Saturday nights on 77 WABC on Sat. nights 6-9 PM starting September. "Wolfman Jack, your days are numbered" LOL
Reminded me when I had to hear Ron Lundy & Harry Harrison retire from radio, my whole life I hated goodbyes
I remember searching for an aircheck of Imus' quack-quack and stumbled on this channel. This is fucking fantastic. It is so great to see, and hear, someone who really cares about these classics and wants to preserve them. Thank you Cousin Ellis and thank you Cousin Brucie!
I'm glad you found us! I've been preserving radio audio here for over a decade.
@@EllisFeaster Thank you again! To me, these airchecks are priceless. I threw out so many tapes
Thank you for everything that you post and share with all your fans. Much appreciated and great listening pleasure any time of the day or night, thanks again.
I missed the show. Thanks for posting.
So turns out he is going back to 77 WABC. What a surprise!
Listened to Cousin Brucie since 1964 and am happy he will be back home on 77wabc am Saturday night Sept 5th from 6-9 pm the greatest!
Wishing you all the best Ellis - and thanks for posting rocking airchecks!
P Gloves You’re Welcome! Glad you enjoy them.
Thank you very much for this one. I’ve been a fan of Bruce Morrow (aka Cousin Brucie) forever. I listened to WCBS-FM where he did his show back in the 1990’s when he did his “Saturday Night Dance Party”, and “Cousin Brucie’s Yearbook” for so many years until 2005 when the station went away with an ill-fated “Jack” format where they played different genres of music which was a mess. He made other appearances from other stations including his brief cameo on WRNQ’s “Q92” during Joe Daily’s final morning show from Christmas Eve, 2019 that I still have.
His final minutes of his final Sirius/XM show was kinda sad that what WCBS-FM should’ve ended his final show back on June 1st, 2005 just two days before the station flipped to “Jack”.
The last song that he played was “Goodnite Sweetheart Goodnite” by the Spaniels which I still have it on a 78 since I played it both on my 1926 Victor VV 8-4 Orthophonic Victrola and my 1923 Camp-Fone by Health Builders portable wind-up phonograph to death and it still sounds good.
Miss Cousin Brucie up in Canada
Thank You Cousin Bruice
No one is or will ever be close to Cousin Brucie! This was Sirius radios loss! What a bad decision to cut a the Cuz! He is a special man!
The Cuz takes us to a very special innocent time as well as a much simpler time when people we’re people!
Cousin brucie, saved our lives especially during the Beatles years(anyone remember palasades amusement park)
How so?
My favorite Cousin
Cousin Brucie was one of the best DJs/entertainers in radio. I grew up listening to him on WABC. And have met & dined with him on several professional levels over the years.
You say he's going full circle? Perhaps a weekend music show on 77? Maybe a weekend musical entertainment show on 77? All the best to the Cuz!
Didnt know he left Sirius, I miss his show
Cousin Brucie is a fantastic radio personality and will be sadly missed on SiriusXM Radio. Relax in August and "See You In September" wherever you are. 😢😢😢
Sounded like negotiations with SXM fell though. I enjoyed listening to him over the years and wish him the very best!
Feel better, Ellis. Best wishes for a speedy recovery.
Bresden Thanks. Surgery in the morning.
He’s doing great at 77 WABC New York now owned by John Catsimatidis.
COME BACK VERY VERY SOON COUSIN VERY SOON.
I really enjoyed your video and radio history. I listen to WABC everyday.
Legal Latino Heat Glad you enjoyed it.
@@EllisFeaster New Subscriber here. Keep up the Great Content
Legal Latino Heat Welcome aboard!
Hi Ellis,
It’s great to see you in front of the camera 🎥.
You indeed are a talent also.
Thank You for posting this.
You always post great audio checks and shows.
Very well edited and saving time yet, getting to hear all the key 🔑 points
I’m a big fan of yours and also all the WABC WCBS FM DJ’s
Please let me know when and where I can hear you
Thank You Again Ellis,
Mike Fruchter
Michael Proctor Glad you enjoy the airchecks! I’ll keep posting until I run out of audio!
Cousin Brucie was on 1010 WINS(1960) before he joined WABC.
It's Coming Now, Ellis Feaster?
He also did radio syndication. Remember the show Cruzin America????
Don McCullen I remember! I had to fill out the affidavit every week.
@@EllisFeaster OK so how does that work for syndicated programs?
Don McCullen When you run syndicated programming, you have to fill out an affidavit for every show, to show the syndicator your ran all of the spots in the show. They, in turn, can show all of the advertisers that their ads ran on all of the stations.
@@EllisFeaster Fair enough. Had to do BMI logs every week when I worked at a Christian Talk station.
I think he's going back to WABC.
Another Radio Station Coming For 15 Minutes!
It's Going To Upload Now?
Cousin, did you ever broadcast out of the Central Pennsylvania area? I have vague memories of a DJ from a radio station from that area who used to always call people "cousin". I think it's the same person who used to always say something like, "Let us leave us." Was that you?
I'd say he'll probably move over to podcasting. I really don't see him going back to terrestrial radio and I don't think any stations in NYC play Oldies anymore.
Scott Allen Brown's Mashup Museum I don’t think at his age, he knows or cares much about podcasting. He likes being in front of, & interacting a large live audience. Also, WABC’s new owner is a fan of Brucie, & musicradio WABC. Plus, he just put out an ad about a music surprise coming to WABC. I’d say look for Cuz’s return Labor Day weekend
@@EllisFeaster having a Saturday night oldies show would be a great fit for WABC, given it's 50kw clear channel signal and the other talk/news programming, it's a great mix. Seems to work for 740 Zoomer Radio. Speaking of Zoomer, given that GenZ are being informally referred to as Zoomers, I have to wonder will Moses keep using the Zoomer moniker? Yeah, I think he will. :)
Despite what most people say about the future of AM, I still think AM has a bright future, well that is if you have a 50kw signal that can cover large areas of North America.

Wish he had gone back to WCBS FM. because their current format, just plain stinks. And you'll be to listen to him in stereo, no t on WABC which is on AM. This is just my opinion!
Thank God XM radio finally got rid of Cousin Brucie! What a geek, I had to suffer his portrayal of 60's music as geeky music for years! I can finally go back and enjoy it now with Shotgun Kelly without the stigma of goofy Brucie, contaminating it with his silly comments.
Cousin Bruce will be on WABC this Saturday night. I pray he don't say the phrase DOT COM over 70 times a hour like the rest of the so called bozos that are on the radio now.
Oh my God cousin Brucie said that it’s an emotional day for him, I have a question. Is he sick? Does he have some sort of disease and he hast to take a month off. Does he have cancer or something?
I think he just wanted to take a short break before starting the new part time job!
Who?
Back to wcbsfm

Maybe WCBS FM will dump the crap they're airing and return to their roots and become the golden 101.1 again. Imagine Cousin Brucie & Don K Reed back again - but doubt that will ever happen again.
It won’t ever happen. They are making a lot of money serving 39-54 year olds. It’s sad, but they have no interest in 55-74 year olds, because it falls outside of the 25-54 demo.
Josh Diaz Not true. WCBS-FM changed because they wanted to chase a more desirable demo. It’s that simple.
Josh Diaz Because when Univision bought the 92.7 frequency (for 60 million dollars!!!) they had no interest in the WLIR format. They spent all that money to buy the station to do Spanish language programming, not Alternative.
Josh Diaz They were in business to make money, not to support a format. A company was offering $60,000,000. I’m sure if someone offered you that kind of crazy money, you’d sell too! When you sell your house at a great price, you don’t ask if they are going to keep your old carpet on the floor. You just take the money!!!
@@EllisFeaster you are 100% correct. it is and was always about the demo and the $'s they spent. what made the golden 101 tragedy worse was the abrupt mismanagement by cbs's execs who literally flipped the switch & pulled the rug out from under their cherished air personalities without a word of remorse to them or the listeners. the callousness of their actions caused some to be fired eventually. they "jacked" off enough listeners to have to dump that awful new format with a mia culpa being issued. today, the great sounds of doo wop are alive and well on the web with some fantastic websites playing not just the popular titles but some really obscure ones also. i'll be listening to streaming wabc am when cousin brucie returns. hope they have some wabc 60s jingles on the roster, also.
This is shocking!!!...if he's going back to WABC, maybe he's gonna do a oldies music show...or would he even do talk??? You know, I'm in LA/Southern California...I've known Brucie since the mid-80's when I was 15-16...I believe he was on the original VH-1, and then in the early 90's, he hosted a CBS syndicated weekly Oldies show. I also heard airchecks of him from the 60's and 70's.
In the middle-late 1970's, Brucie was a reporter with WNBC-TV's "NewsCenter4," looking at the music scene.
@@wmbrown6 Right...I've got a scoped (edited,) aircheck of Brucie's last WNBC-AM show in August 1977...he mentions he was staying with NBC, and working for their sister TV station. I've gotta see if YT here has anything.
77 WABC baby!
IM a broadcaster and a musician.(in this biz of bizaree twisted stuff 24/7). he managed to stay on the air this long.quite an accomplishment.(and however. his voice has been HORRIBLE for a ton of years. EITHER he has something wrong with his vocal processing. OR HE JUST DOESN'T care any long to process his vocal corrently.(his shows AT XM RADIO are friendly accompainyment- yet terrible in -content of verbal banter). he should have left the biz a tons of years ago- LIKE when in 1985- WKTUs listening audience kicked Dan ingrams ass and said. WE don't like the way you sound NOR do we care about anything you are saying Dan.(the oddest comment i ever heard bruce say on the air was.WHEN he was on the howard stern show. AND said to howard out load.YOU CAME ALONG when radio was dying and needed something new. YOU GOTTA BE JOKIN BRUCE. because you YOURSELF BRUCE help greantly in DESTROYING personality oriented TOP 40 by SHOVING ALL jocks everywhere to the BAK OF THE ROOM on the air as TIME AND TEMP readers.YOU DID so. in your intent at evil against the industry and against the audiences in the early 1980's. BUT yet you act like you had no idea who STARTED the destruciton in on air personality formats. YOUR a psycho bruce and you know it.I WISH you and your wife the best of luck. BUT please do not ever again enter this on air biz. KNOWING the delusional ways you intentionally think AND knowing how much of a evil contribution you brought to on air music radio and radio in general.WHY OH WHY did you and rick sklar ever think that you were THE ULTIMATE gods of destruction in music radio.RICK SKLAR should have been put in prison AFTER what he did intentionally and DOING some hard evil to the on air programming of WABC music radio. OH I FORGOT that god killed off his ass in a so called RUNNING physical mishap.GOOD NIGHT BRUCIE and be good to your wife the WAY THAT YOU WERE NOT GOOD to music radio top-40 from the early 1980s and on.AND TO THE READERS your comments are welcomed.
