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)
