Harry HarrisonWMCA
Harry Harrison worked in Peoria, IL at WPEO AM 1020 just prior to going to WMCA New York. Harry was the Programming Director at WPEO and brought the station to the number one spot in just six-months after his arrival. He was known as the “Morning Mayor” while working in Peoria.
Harry went to WMCA in November of 1959. His 10 AM to 2 PM show became a particular hit among housewives. Harry was one of the original “Good Guys” on WMCA.
This aircheck was recorded on his last day at WMCA before going to WABC.

Harry’s delivery style is as smooth as ever, something he hasn’t changed in over 40 years of broadcasting.
Harry Harrison retired from WCBS 101.1 FM in March 2003. He is one of the finest in radio broadcasting and was willing to share pictures, letters, and information with me. He is a very warm and giving person. I’m proud to say that he got his early experience in my own hometown, Peoria!
