… The most listened-to station in the nation …
Chuck Leonard begins this expansive composite with his overnight show
on New York City’s WABC, recorded on January 18, 1978. Bob Cruz follows
(at 6:33) and Harry Harrison’s morning show is prominently featured beginning at 10:42. At 20:56, The always popular Ron Lundy is heard on his midday program. Unfortunately, the Cruz, Harrison and Lundy segments were dubbed out of alignment and the otherwise good fidelity suffers.
Fortunately, the tape path straightens out a bit (if not completely)
by 25:19 for a fabulous
Dan Ingram afternoon drive segment. Not to be outdone, George Michael is fantastic, and you can hear his 7PM show beginning at 32:03.
I Love New York was the big promotion at WABC during this composite,
which continues on January 20, 1978 with Steve O’Brien at 36:36. It concludes on January 21, 1978, with a bit of
Johnny Donovan (at 39:51).
