I did not listen to this station, because of WGHQ has recently launched back in March which is now “Magic 92.5” and they are going to compete with WGNY and WBPM.
I remember many years ago, I was complaining about the station has been doing wrong by playing Led Zeppelin, Jimi Hendrix, Jetro Tull and others that doesn’t fit the format. So I stopped listening to WGNY and go over to WROW’s “Magic 590/100.5” and did the right thing.
Look what happened just last year, WABC added Bruce Morrow (aka Cousin Brucie) to the mix after he left SiriusXM, because he hasn’t been on WABC since 1974. I listened to him and he is still great and still going strong. I’m listening to it every Saturday where he plays the great music that WGNY, and it’s competitor WGHQ, a new station which is still playing now. A month later, they added Tony Orlando to the mix, and then followed by Joe Piscopo which was two months later playing nothing but the music of Frank Sinatra since it has not being played in the Hudson Valley back in the WEOK, WKIP, and WGHQ days when it was “Music of Your Life” MOR oldies, because WGNY never plays Frank Sinatra on there, except the Christmas music. And then, by July, they added Constantine Marolius and Deana Martin to WABC and that completes the lineup for weekends. Deana Martin sounded terrific on WABC where she playing nothing but Dean Martin and friends where the station never played them in the Hudson Valley in a long time.
Let’s hope if it’s going to happen this weekend and find out.
