… May I say it is so great to be back with you on CBS-FM, the Golden One-Oh-One …
On Monday, May 14th, 1984, Ron Lundy (d. March 15, 2010) returned to middays on New York City’s airwaves with WCBS-FM. Program Director Joe McCoy had carved out a shift for the former “Musicradio” WABC star in the 9 a.m. to noon slot by shortening some of the other deejays’ daytime shifts by an hour.
On this tape, Lundy is his ever-effusive self, signing on with his signature “Hello Love!” and making ‘CBS-FM his own for three hours with the station’s mix of soft, contemporary hits (once called “future gold” by the station) and “good time oldies.” At one point, Lundy airs a prerecorded welcome from fellow WABC alum Cousin Bruce, who also joined the ‘CBS-FM roster of personalities.
Lundy is working combo here, pushing all his own buttons. At WABC, of course, he and the other deejays had the luxury of working with engineers (now given the graceless title of “board ops”) who handled all the mechanics of running the show. Lundy sounds perfectly comfortable with this arrangement and runs a flawless board.
