Mark Simone’s weekend broadcast on WABC is number news Talk Radio

[Coleus]

The DJ is Conservative Talk Show Host Mark Simone. For those of us who grew up in the NY, NJ Metropolitan Area during the 60's and 70's , we all remember listening to, what are now considered oldies, on our transistor radios. Mark Simone has been hosting this show now for about 6 months and is doing a great job. He's interviewing the old singers, playing the old commercials, reminiscing about the culture of that time. It's a great show. Try to catch it..

It's on from 6 - 10 pm EST every Saturday Night.

Thanks for the link. I had no idea they were doing this regularly now. I'm only 26, but I'm a "jingle freak," so I love the throwback broadcasts.

[BigBobber]

Thanks for the tip. I was a teenager in the 70s in Westchester County and WABC was on our radios most of the time.

WABC ping! :o)

[SE Mom]

This is cool. Thanks for the links:)

I used to listen to Cousin Brucie on WABC from the Metro DC area - WABC had a strong signal.

Thanks for this thread, Coleus! WABC was my "beach station" back when I was growing up in CT (I was too young to remember WABC when I lived in NJ).

When I was a teenager hanging out on CT and RI beaches during the summer, WABC was the station of choice for music in the 70s. It came in loud and clear over Long Island Sound (but not at my house up in the Hartford area). Everybody on the beaches had the same radio station blaring on their AM radios... LOL.

I remember WABC's funny old jingles, echo-chamber sound, "The WABCDegrees" weather report, Ron Lundy, Dan Ingram, Cousin Brucie and Johnny Donovan. Ahhh... memories... :o)

Yikes - am I dating myself or WHAT?!

I assume they'll do a "WABC Rewound" this Memorial Day weekend?

Thanks for the link, just stumbled on your post, love older music.

Yep, that's how it sounded "back in the day" on AM radio. Also notice the weird echo-chamber sound, and clanging bell...

[George from New England]

A classic jingle from WDRC 1360 in Hartford, circa 1970.

Freep me if you want more.

[nutmeg]

Cool! WDRC 1360 was my "home" station back in the 70s. Listened to WABC exclusively when on the CT and RI beaches during the summer (see #8).

[nutmeg]

ping!

Please FReepmail me if you want on or off my ‘miscellaneous’ ping list.

There are singles websites.

[nutmeg]

LOL... obviously I meant: "I'm getting old". The singles websites are a good idea, but not for me... I'm happily married. ;-)

[nutmeg]

Ugh, get this dingbat lib Linda Ronstadt off the air. My husband grew up in the San Francisco Bay Area. He just said when Gov. Moonbeam (Jerry Brown) was dating Ronstadt, she used to freak him out because she tried to act like a little girl... still had tea parties with her dolls. Yeesh...

[Fudd Fan]

AMEN. It sure didn't take her long to rant on about Iraq, did it. As Laura Ingraham says, just "SHUT UP AND SING!"

[Tabi Katz]

THanks nutmeg! I'm listening and lovin' it! I hope it lasts a looooooong time :-D

Yup, I was a teenager in the 70's and had my radio tuned to WABC. Talk about memory lane...
