Fond Memories From A Special Radio Friend & Mentor
During my college years, I was fortunate to intern for one semester at
New York City's premier country radio station that was located at the base of Park Avenue in midtown Manhattan.
WHN 1050 AM was a 50,000 watt powerhouse as they enjoyed a 14 year run by e
ntertaining their audiences with traditional and classic country music plus they mixed in "crossover" artists that included Elvis Presley, The Eagles, Roy Orbison, Olivia Newton-John, Jim Croce, Buddy Holly, Rick Nelson and Vicki Lawrence, just to name a few (the list goes on and on as this extra spice of pop-A/C music was the key in keeping New Yorkers tuned in to their unique band of the format as the move resulted in top 10 numbers during ratings sweeps)
