Default WNYW ( & WABC) from the 60s & 70s remebered


New York's WABC-AM (770 kHz) will sound different next Monday, Memorial Day,
between 6am and 6pm local time (1000-2200 UTC). The station will present its
annual "Rewound" special, 12 complete hours of original programming from the
60's and 70's when WABC was America's, and the world's, number one Top 40
station. Everything will be played back just as it was, including the news
and commercials.

Special guest for the day is Dan Ingram, one of the DJ's who helped create
the special sound of "77". Between 6 and 8pm local time (2200-2400 UTC) he
will join current WABC program director Phil Boyce to talk about the
station's heritage and take phone calls.

The special programming has been put together by WABC personality Johnny
Donovan, who stayed with the station after it switched to a talk format in
1982. The good news is that Donovan says he has enough material to present
these specials for the next ten years, thanks to the help of aircheck
collectors.

The first hour (1000-1100 UTC) will be a real treat for those who remember
WNYW, Radio New York Worldwide. It's a show by Les Marshak from 1970.
Marshak was the presenter of WNYW's Worldwide Hit Parade.
