… Echoes of a Rock Era …
Chuck Cooper (Bill Rock) was an early performer in the long line of
WWDJ air talent. Here’s a short sample of Cooper on a Sunday night. During
this period of time he was programming WTRY in Albany-Troy, N.Y. and would
fly to from Albany to Newark and get a ride from Newark to Hackensack to do weekends
as a DJ.
Bill says, “It cost me more to fly back and forth than I made at WWDJ. It was worth
it, though. After all, I was on a rock station in the NYC market when I was 24.”
Since 1995, Rock has been the promotional voice for NBC Nightly News, Meet the Press, prime-time billboards on the NBC Television network and many other NBC, MSNBC and CNBC promos and programs.
