… here’s a record that’s gonna get inside your head …
[Description by Uncle Ricky]
Steve York was heard overnights on Big 10 WCFL during 1971 and 1972. This recording features Steve’s show from January 14, 1971, between 2 and 3AM.
There is not one single commercial announcement in this entire hour, but there are lots of Public Service Announcements, two of those impressive multiple-reporter newscasts, and a Public Affairs feature. As was common in those days, WCFL cleared much of their required community service programming in the overnight time slot. The frequently featured jingles include some Phase II and other cuts from TM of Dallas.
Unlike many of the WCFL personalities who sounded bigger than life, York sounds unexpectedly young and casual here. We wonder where he went after the Voice of Labor?
