Here's some New York radio news as reported by Paul D. Colford:
1. Lionel (real name Michael Lebron) from WFLA in Tampa, FL was hired
by WABC and will be placed in the 9 - 11 AM time slot beginning in
January. Lynn Samuels will be mved to 7 - 10 PM when there is no
Yankee or NJ Devil game. This makes G. Gordon Liddy odd man out. Unless
another station picks him up he will not have a New York outlet.
2. From Monday October 25 through November 5 WXRK (K-Rock) is playing
"The History of Classic Rock", a rockumentary of tunes and interviews
from the archives.
3. Joe Franklin is still on WOR from Midnight to 5 AM on Sundays. He
also presents brief segments on WBBR at 2:25, 5:25, 8:25 and 11:25.
BTW there are many WBBR billboards in the New York metropolitan area
these days. Their last rating was 0.3.
4. Quincy McCoy former program director of WNEW-AM is the new PD
at WBLS-FM. Mike Love is out at WBLS.
5. Roy H. Park of Park Communications fame died at age 83. His
stations include WPAT/AM-FM of Paterson, NJ.

While I've not heard the actual program, I am aware of it, there was a
story done on it in an old issue of FM (Famous Monsters) magazine, around
1973-4 or so. The producer was Himan Brown, they had pix of famous actors
at the mic recording the series (Fred Gwynne, Mercedes McCambridge, etc.)
It was obviously syndicated over CBS Radio, I remember a station list in
the mag. Probably would have been KNX if I'm not mistaken (in your area at
the time)
Cheers.

PACHECO@acs.harding.edu (Captain Ron) said the following:
>About 15 to 20 years ago while living in L.A. County, CA, I listened to

Yes, I do remember them quite vividly -- hosted by E.G. Marshall.
I remember listening to them and thinking they were quite cool, as it was the
only radio drama left on the air (I got hooked on radio shows by renting
cassettes of old series like "Suspense" from the local library).
I still recall my favorite episode, one in which the main character somehow
ended up in Pompeii just as Mt. Vesuvius (sp?) was about to let go. Fun stuff.
I don't think they do anymore, but about five years ago KGO in San Francisco
would sometimes run them on a very sporadic basis. Alas, I don't think any of
them are on tape...

Does anyone know the satellite frequncy that Cool Gold is on? Satellite
Music Network distributes this and other music formats. Also does anyone
know that make and model of receivers that are used? I am asking to satisfy
a curiosity.

From: WOODWARD@ctrvax.Vanderbilt.Edu
Organization: UTexas Mail-to-News Gateway
In advanced I apologize if this is the incorrect group for this, but it
seemed my best shot. I wonder if someone would offer an opinion on what is
a GOOD radio? I just mean a good FM receiver that won't cost an arm and leg
. I have an older Magnovox FM/SW, and the reception is hideous. My AIWA
walkman on the other hand seems to have very good reception, but I hate
headphones. By some freak accident, does some manufacturer actually produce
a good tuner at an affordable price? Thanks in advance,
Mark Woodward

Subject: M-Street Journal/Directory
From: markson@rapnet.sanders.lockheed.com (Dave Markson (603) 885-7678)
Organization: Lockheed Sanders, Inc.
I have seen several postings about the M-Street Journal/Directory,
and now that I subscribed I have some comments. I previously had
the NRC AM Radio Log and the FM radio Logs. That combo costs about
$40, and the M-Street directory is $32. Then you have to add
shipping (it varies depending on who you buy from/and the type
of shipping desired). So there is minimal cost difference between the two.
The M-Street Journal costs $99/year (51 issues) and includes a copy
of the M-Street Directory. The journal comes out weekly, and is
approx. 16 pages, loose leaf format. It includes lots of info.
I have received 2 issues so far and am pleased. Although it seems
rather expensive, you have to figure about 25% of the cost goes for
postage.
M-Street directory
------------------
The 1st section of the Directory is set up like Broadcasting Yearbook.
It is alphabatized by State and within the state, by city. This is a
feature the AM/FM Radio logs don't have. Within
a city, stations are listed in freq order. In practice, I think this
is far more useful than by calls. As 1/2 the reason I have the
Journal is for DXing, this is great. The next section
lists stations by frequeucy. The canadian stations are listed in
the same way. There is also a listing by call letters,
and a listing of previously used call letters. Then there is a list of
the markets. Listed are freq., calls, market share and format.
The M-street markets are not identical to the Arbitron
markets, but they are fairly close (both numbers are listed). These
are sorted by city/state. There is also a list of stations by market
size.
There is no listing in the directory of translators/syncs. The two unique
features the AM/FM radio logs have are (1) AM Stereo type and (2) Network
affil. I don't consider those two that big a deal, although both
my car stereos (Clarion & Sherwood) both have AM stereo.
There are many small descrepencies between M-Street & the logs the
(eg: tower height usually varies by a few feet). Also, M-street has
phone/fax #s which could be very useful.
Both the logs & M-street are great. But if interests in AM/FM go beyond
DXing, the M-street provides more information. It does not provide TV
though. I hear there is a TV log out now. I'll have to check that one
out next.

Don't know the reference, but KEX did the same thing last year:
"One of America's three great radio stations..."

Adult album alternative is a branch of modern rock that is aimed at an
adult audience (generally 25-45). They would tend to play stuff like
REM, Matthew Sweet, Lou Reed, 10000 Maniacs, and certainly some less
heard groups and artists. Adult album alternative is sort of like today's
"folk" music. You could also think of it as being the interplay region
between modern rock, album/classic rock and adult contemporary. A few
examples of this that I've heard are WWCD Columbus, OH, KBCO Boulder, CO,
and WKOC, Norfolk, VA. Anyway, I'm personally more into "alternative",
but I think the adult album alternative stations are pretty good.

Interesting to read these particular posts...I grew up in Selden (exit 62
off LIE) and was quite a radiohead in my day...weird to see how stations
have changed since I was a kid...WALK was old folks music (now it seems to
be old hip folks music), WTFM is WAPP, no idea about WCTO...all the former
elevator stations have gone to adult soft rock heaven it seems. At last
listen I guess WBAB & WRCN still rock...is WBLI still the Flop 40? Used to
be cool when the Top 40 *was* cool (they were just great in '76, they'd
play John Denver then Queen then Barry Manilow then Aerosmith). WRCN used
to have American Top 40, still w/ Casey Kasem, Saturdays from 10A-2P I
think, then they'd still have a polka program Sunday mornings! Shame that
radio is so damn compartmentalized these days, used to be a real joy to
listen.
Thanks for the opportunity to ramble on, and hello to the netters in LI,
can you tell I'm homesick???
Cheers,

KALX in Berkeley has a tape closet full of celebrity ID's saying "KLAX".
It usually takes most guests 2 or more tries to get it right.

In Glens Falls, there is a station WWSC. A couple of announcers on the station
had difficulties saying it (double "W" - S-C or Dah-bah-you Dah-bay-you - S-C).
I thought that was bad until a station in Buffalo changed its call letters to
WWWS. It is largely satellite programmed, so I don't think the call letters
give the station too many problems.
It brings back to mind one of my first lessons at Ithaca College -
"Double-you."

Gang,
I just had the opportunity to visit our little 50,000 watt
all sports channel and according to them they are going to be WMVP here
by the time that this article gets posted. When one calls the station,
they answer the phone "the Loop Fm Sports 1000"
I think that it is time to let it die in piece. Larry Wert believes that
he can get a better audiance with this format. So far, I don't see a reason
to not believe him. Because his daytime signal reaches far into Wisconsin,
Indiana, Illinois, eastern Iowa, western Ohio, and most of South Western
Michigan. There cannot be another radio station that can broadcast to that
much of the country during the day alone that has that type of a format.
I listened the other day and was mildly shocked to hear someone from Stevens
Point (wich lies to the outside of the day signal pattern) calling in with
a question. (FYI: Stevens Point Wisconsin is over 300 miles away from
Chicago). The evening pattern covers most of the eastern US and parts of
Canada.
When I spoke with Mr. Wert, he told me that he felt that it was a
good move and might be, yet another, trend setter in the US. I don't know if
that is going to be the case but when he set up the am over 5 years ago he
had the hopes that it also would be successful. As we all know it's format
became instantly successful(maybe for just that station). Now I hope that
we all can wish him the best with this change and be professional about
the way that he goes about it.
This is my .02$ worth on this subject
