… 97 DJ will change, to become the new voice of inspiration for the metropolitan area …
This remarkable record of the last few days of WWDJ (as a Top 40 station) was created especially for REELRADIO by Russ DiBello. While the fidelity of the source material was far from excellent, Russ provided an exceptionally clean exhibit and we are fortunate to enjoy his audio expertise. Some of this REEL “off the air” recording demonstrates the WWDJ signal problems, particularly at night. But every second is worth your time – right up until the final sign off. When the
carrier leaves the air, we hear one second of Larry King (from where? – or does it matter?)
Chief among the highlights of this composite is Steve Clark, who concluded his WWDJ employment with this show. Clark and sidekick Maharishi talk with studio visitors, and Clark includes his radio recommendations for stations in the New York market. Gary Russell, Sean Casey, Bob Savage, and some of the most unusual music segues you have never imagined are all here, too.
These guys were losing their jobs. The great 97DJ experiment was over. Were they bitter?
