Here's an unscoped example of how morning radio sounded in NYC and how one station was going against the soon to be new leader.
This CD features WMCA morning man Joe O'Brien. Along with the hits of that day, you'll hear the news, traffic and commercials from that time. The first thing you'll notice is how much more relaxed the WMCA sound was at this point. WABC joined the Top 40 battle just days earlier with their fast pace yet the Good Guy sound had yet to develop at WMCA. Actually the Good Guys was a phrase that was first used by WABC and later lifted by WMCA.
