Wow! We had the NYC version of that station named WWRL (1600 AM) that I listened to as a very young boy in the late 1960s thru the early 1970s.
It was affectionately known as "Super 16". It's sister station was WBLS (107.5 FM).

I grew up in peak radio NYC era. As many over-the-air choices as anywhere at the time. wide choices : many AOR stations to WBLS, WWRL, WLIB and on and on (and no TV age 5-20) Still plenty of gaps in my big hits knowledge, e.g., for decades there was only ONE country station, WHN

When I was 10 I broke my arm and laid in a hospital bed with a transistor radio. I can still see it every time I hear Yesterday, one of the songs that played. Also grew up with d.j. Frankie Crocker on WWRL.

Come home, Doris, the North(east) remembers!
I have a lot of fond memories of fighting my bedside radio to get WWRL in so I could listen to Doris Burke and Vera Jones doing the late night games.

Doris come do the WNBA instead, we will appreciate you! We'll toss Lobo in the bin right now, just say the word!
"ABC/ESPN has demoted Hall of Famer Doris Burke from its NBA Finals team & promoted longtime network commentator, Tim Leger, to its No. 1 team, sources briefed on the decision told The Athletic. Legler will pair w/ longtime lead play-by-player Mike Breen & Richard Jefferson on The Finals." 🤨🤳 #mnba

www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z-_J... Perverse to mark Eddie Palmieri's passing w Joe Cuba's breakthru hit but they came up together in the Catskills (!) & Bronx & Joe supposedly played uncredited on Champagne. Pretty sure Frankie Crocker broke BB in NYC--#1 for weeks on WWRL, a real song of the city.

consolidation through mergers killed local flavor and radio personalities became corporate playlists and recorded ads. I grew in this amazing golden age of music radio in nyc. WBLS WWRL WKTU (which switched from country to disco).

That one seriously hurts.
Need to put that behind us quickly and hope the injuries aren't too bad. Can't afford to be without key men for long.
Feel like we're missing the versatility of Isa already.

Yes. People voting with their feet...early hip-hop (speaking only for my experience ca. 78-84, ages 14-20) was barely on the radio, not even on WBLS, WWRL, so live shows, school yards, house parties, clubs, rollerskating (at the club) and in the streets were where you heard the real ish.
