WABC Return To Music Day

I posted a bit of info about this in the "jingles" topic here, but got this off the WABC radio website. I bet they'll be playing a lot of Beatles! You can listen live, there's a link on the website a the top of the page, a little red banner that says "click to listen live"! Too cool, I only wish I was going to be home!

WABC presents "Rewound 2004" this Memorial Day....


WABC Rewound 2004

One Day Return to Music – Memorial Day - May 31st

12 Hours of Radio History!

WABC's Johnny Donovan has spent countless hours producing this special, which promises to be the best to date! WABC has been airing station retrospectives since 1996. The shows are re-created, using the music and the deejays that made WABC sizzle and attract the largest number of listeners one radio station has ever achieved in America.


After the 12 hour special, WABC Program Director Phil Boyce will host a 2 hour long talk show from 6-8PM. Listeners will call in to remember the station’s great heritage, as both a music and talk station. This year the show will feature radio legend, Dan Ingram!

So make sure you tune in this Memorial Day to take a trip with WABC down memory lane!

<font color="red"> I love listening to the annual WABC-AM rewind! Ever it began in 1997 or 1996 and ever since, it's always a nice treat as a young person that I am {well 21 to be precise} to imagine having my transistor listening to Cousin Brucie, Rob Lundy and Dan Ingram!

*sigh* If you want to listen to snippets of the station in it's heyday Check out the site here... it has the info on the all the radio DJ, audio cips and a huge section on the Beatles! It's really great!

One more thing to wonder on how things were...</font>
