NYC Jocks

[Clayton Douglas]

Are many of the top jocks from the 50's/ 60's still living? (WABC, WINS,WMCA,WMGM, WNEW-am, WNBC)

 

[Beachdog]

Yes. Many are.

 

[Clayton Douglas]

Sorry --I guess my question was a bit too broad.

 

[BruceS8852]

Dan Ingram, Bruce Morrow, Herb Oscar Anderson, Dan Daniel and Ron Lundy are still living.

So who else from the 60s is still loving? If they are gone do you know when they passed away?

Joe O'Brien, morning many at WMCA

Jack Spector at WMCA

Harry Harrision from (middays)WMCA, WABC and then WCBS-FM I beleive he is still living.

Gary Stevens was big on a night shift (when that was primetime). Was that before or after B. Mitchel Reed?

I hear Gary Stevens has been on the business side for decades.

Some more that are also gone:

Murray the K, WINS

Bob-a-Lou, WINS and WABC

Chuck Lenord WWRL and WABC

Scott Muni, WABC, WNEW-FM and more.


If you can add any comments and information about these great personalties please do.

I will look for your replies.
