WABC Brings Back Oldies!
77WABC, the station that invented Oldies Radio, is bringing it back on 
Saturday nights. WABC airs "Saturday Night Oldies" with Mark Simone from 6-10pm, as 
we turn back the hands of time. Listen to the hit songs, the old jingles and 
sound clips that made WABC the most listened to radio station in the world! 
WABC Program Director, Phil Boyce, said "WABC is the station you grew up with, 
and now we are bringing a little of your youth back to the WABC of today."
 
Mark Simone, who already hosts Saturday morning 6-10am returns at night for 
the music show. "They said that day in 1982 when WABC went talk was the day the 
music died, but now we are bringing it back to life," said Boyce. The show 
will feature interviews with celebrities, as they remember the glory days of AM 
rock radio, when WABC was reaching as many as 8 million listeners a week, from 
Connecticut down to the Jersey Shore, and all over the 38 states and 7 
countries where WABC can still be heard!
Today WABC is the most listened to News Talk radio station in the nation, but 
back then WABC was the most listened to radio station period, with great 
hosts like Dan Ingram, Cousin Bruce, Harry Harrison, and Herb Oscar Anderson. 
WABC's "Saturday Night Oldies" show captures a bit of the magic. 
During the show, post your comments on the Saturday Night Oldies message 
board, which is part of Musicradio77.com. You can post your comments about the 
music radio hey day, and ask questions that Simone will read on the air and 
answer.
