Jay Thomas, 99X New York, September 20, 1976 Pt.2 (scoped) (0:20:11)
Scoped
… Where am I? Oh, I’m in New York. The Big Time. So what? …
Jay Thomas writes on his web site that he took less money to move to 99X in New York:
When New York called I was making six figures in Charlotte, NC and was part owner of the station. I was married and the owners all but told me that one day the stations would be mine… but I needed to know what it was like at the Big Show. So, for less money, I went to 99X in NYC. I couldn’t believe there was so little competition. Imus was in the market but he was either drunk or drugged out and ended up in Cleveland. So I just went nuts.
As with Part One, there is some fading in Part Two, and one song was replaced to create a clean ending, but overall, this is good audio of a very early Jay Thomas 99X morning show.
