Anyone in to old time top-40 radio that I grew up on should go to Rewoundradio.com, follow the links & be swept back in time to hear airchecks of the old WABC when it was a music station.NYC Radio greats such as Dan Ingram & Ron Lundy are showcased as are all the other "All Americans" as they were called back then. The music, the sound,& even some of the old newscasts of the day are replayed.

One news item broadcast, after Viet Nam updates, was the fight that was going on to establish a Conn. state lottery. Back then in Ct., (mid 60s) if you got caught with more than five lottery tickets from anywhere, you could be tossed in jail! Never knew that.

Anyway, they do this every year at this time. Its a worthwile listen IMO, to when top-40 radio was king of the dial & WABC was the "ratings steamroller flattening the opposition" (FM dominance was still years away) as one of their promos boasted.They'll be doing this till Monday night
