WOR was a great station back in the day. Talk radio as we know it was born there. Long John Nebel was the prototype for Art Bell. Shepherd wasn’t political, but he proved that you could be a success just talking for 45 minutes straight. They normally had 15 minutes of news each hour, instead of the 5 minute potty break we have now.
Long John Nebel and Candy Were before my time, I’ve heard a few of their tapes around, and enjoyed what I heard.
Art Bell I liked, but you can’t take seriously. George Noory, I’m not thrilled with. I go to books on tape now if I can’t sleep.
I loved Jean Shepard. It was a treat to stay up late to listen to him. WOR was a great staton back then, WABC was WA Beatle C. They played music. I remember when they went to talk radio, I think they had both Rush and Lynn Samuels on. It was like point counter point from SNL.
