ROCKOLLECTIONS: THE GHOST OF NEW YORK RADIO PAST
THE GHOST OF NEW YORK RADIO PAST
One last piece of unfinished business in our Salute To Radio.Here is a classic Radio Montage I wish I could say I put together, called The Ghost Of New York Radio Past.
In fact, it was done by WFUV’s Pete Fornatale with help from Don Feergard and Peter Mocover.(That’s Fornatale at the end, when he was a student at Fordham University’s radio station.)
And what a job they did!
It is without a doubt a grand, nostalgic trip down Memory Lane for listeners of New York City radio, but is a priceless piece of history no matter where you are from.
WOR-FM, WNEW-FM, the AM stations, the FM stations, Alan Freed, Murray the K, Cousin Brucie, Scott Muni, Mad Daddy, B. Mitchell Reed, Bobaloo, and just about anybody else you can think of will be represented here.
But of course, you will not hear ME, lol!
No where, no way!
This brilliant time capsule is now at the Museum Of Television & Radio.
Mike

I can’t believe you didn’t get any comments on this piece. I really enjoyed it. You know what it reminded me of? When a bunch of Jr. High age kids would get together at a friends house on a Saturday night and call in requests to a local D.J. And then he would actually play the record within a few minutes.
Boy were we lucky back then.
Dear Tish,
Yeah, I am a little surprised too- even if people are not from New York.
We were lucky then, as now the playlist is programmed into the computer months in advance.
The only time they will take requests is when they see it is coming up in rotation anyway.
Other than that, they will say, “I’ll try to get to it.”
My show is different.
Although I don’t take requests, do I?…but at least there is no computer telling me what to do, lol!
Glad you enjoyed it and thanks always for writing,
Mike
You’re very welcome, I enjoy your shows.
Tish, you are a gem!
Mike
