William B. was the first to play my album "Born To Bo Blue" a lot of years ago. I'll never forget the thrill of hearing myself on WNEW! <<more>>

I spent many an hour listening to WNEW. My mother loved the station, knew every song and could sing as if she were, Anita o'Day, Dakota Staton, Carmen Macrae, Eydie Gorme, Ella, Shirley Bassey, you name the singer, she knew the song. <<more>>

I'm delighted to have stumbled upon this website. I was introduced to William B. and the Make Believe Ballroom as a lad in the late 1950's and eventually listened exclusively to WNEW. I got married in 1971 and it was the "default" station for me and my wife. <<more>>

From my first day as a freshman at Wagner College on Staten Island to my departure from Brooklyn to join forces with my brothers in the 1st marine Air Wing, WNEW was on my radio almost 50% of the time. You can guess the other 50%,... <<more>>

I was a big fan of WNEW and listened regularly at night as that was the only time it would come in here in New Hampshire but boy would it come in clear as a bell. I was one of the listeners that didn't fit the supposed demographic for this station as I was in my teens in the late 70's through the 80's. <<more>>

Ahhh...How glad I am to have found this site! WNEW was the springboard for my love of music...specifically, Jazz. Growing up in the 50's and 60's, I never bought into that newfangled stuff called rock and roll. <<more>>

Discharged from the Army in June of 1954 and living on Long Island, I remember listening to Willy B on the radio at night from 9:00 PM to 10 or 11 PM. He would open his show with"Good evening world, this is William B. Williams" and then his theme song "You Are The One" by Henri Rene would play.....memories. <<more>>

Someone suggested WBBR play a WNEW format on the weekends. Better than that, how about playing actual broadcasts by Willie B., Ted Brown, Klavan and Finch, etc. plus the station jingles? There must be gobs of old broadcast tapes in someone's garage. <<more>>

I am trying to determine if there is an archives for the old WNEW am from 1938.

I am doing research and I cannot find a listing in the NY Times radio log for WNEW for that day. <<more>>

Well, well, well. It looks like Marlene Sanders and I are still the only females in this news body. But no matter, it's still a great body to be in.

I felt I had died and gone to heaven when after an apprenticeship with WNEW in 1962, I was offered my first job in broadcasting. Lee Hanna was the News Director then. It went something like this: "What are you going to do when you graduate, kid"?... <<more>>

Oh how I miss to this very day…1130 on the dial and what it meant back then in general to radio listeners who caught WNEW AM as far away as the British Isles and up into the Scandanavian Countries to here at home as far west as Chicago and south to Atlanta. <<more>>

AMEN to that!
