No, don't remember WQIV. But I do remember where stations were on the dial, WOR was at the top, I think WABC was to the right and WNBC was to the left. Maybe it was WCBS to the left. Or maybe I remember nothing. BUT......I do know that on FM all the way to the left, you could get ABC television. I used to listen to Happy Days on the radio, it was kinda cool since your imagination did the rest.
Oh, and it was Scott Muni who fought the "consultants" at WNEW-FM for so long to keep their autonomy.
He was an ex-Marine who took no nonsense.
Yep, it doesn't ever get old.
I didn't get into FM until the latter part of the 70's, listened to WDHA, WPLJ and I believe WNEW. I also remember when WAPP first came out, it was commercial free for while, maybe that whole summer. Don't think FM was free form at that time, but I do distinctly recall an FM station playing Black Sabbath followed by Christopher Cross and that has stuck with me for some reason. Two totally different artists, back-to-back.
Before FM, it was AM. WOR, a country station, the Mets station and others.
Jon,
Do you really mean that?
Because it means so much to me that I literally tear up when I hear it.
But that's because I lived through those days, saw them come and go and it broke my heart.
And it is the reason I try to keep the flame burning by doing my show the way I do.
I can't do Radio any other way, and I am so very lucky the suits leave me alone.
But I had you figured for being too young to remember, or maybe there were no free-form stations in your area.
Maybe you can just get into it, you're a perceptive guy.
It's true for me though, that poem never gets old!
NEVER!
Thanks as always for the listen,
Mike
