As a lifelong Chicagoan that brings back great memories. Thanks!
Up to a certain year, I had visited every Long Island AM station.
WGLI, WALK, WLNG, WHLI, WRIV, WLIM and WNYG are the only ones with studios still in the location where I'd first seen them. The FM stations -- forget it. This board doesn't have enough capacity to store all of those site switches.
WLIX 540 (now WLIE) used to be atop the Bay Shore post office for the longest while, on Montauk Highway. Previous to that, they'd been in an office building -- a real two-story skyscraper -- in the village downtown of Bay Shore.
Many will remember WGBB Freeport as eminating from Broadcast Plaza, a standalone building in the Merrick train station parking lot along Sunrise Highway. In fact, I worked there briefly at the time the LIRR was elevating the train stations of Merrick and Bellmore, and perhaps many saw the subsequent construction and further associated WGBB with that building forever. But before that they were atop a pool hall on South Grove Street, much closer to downtown Freeport.
WAPC-WHRF-WRCN operated out of something that looked like a clam shack, next to the Flanders Drive-In. Then they moved to (where else) the second floor of an office building in Riverhead.
WGSM 740 was in (where else) the second floor of an office building right in Huntington's downtown before they moved to one of those sleek all-windows suites along the 110 corporate corridor in Melville.
Getting old, I am. One sign came vividly when word came that Shea Stadium was considered obsolete and razed -- a stadium that I watched them BUILD, hi!

In 1963 WEEF in Highland Park, Il was located above a movie theatre. They had 3 rooms, an office, studio, and very small room for a teletype.
