If you lived in the NY area growing up in the 60s once WMCA went down WABC was the king of music.
I remember those summer weekends at Seaside, Pt. Pleasant or Lavalette and every transistor radio on the beach would have the station on and it was like listening in surround sound. Even though it turned into a political talk station my memories of those beach days and the trips home up Route 9 or the Parkway on Sunday evening (while sneaking a peek at what was playing at the Amboys Drive In) listening to the station will be part of some fond memories. Cousin Brucie, Dan Ingram, Harry Harrison, Ron Lundy, Herb Oscar Anderson and Chuck Leonard are names I'll never forget.
Please don't hijack this into a political thing and have it just be about when everyone listened to WABC.
