SPECIAL NOTES:  This survey debuted on Wednesday, 3 January 1968, 
due to the New Year holiday.

On 1 January 1968, the ABC Radio Network split into four different 
networks, with specialized demographic appeal.  The four networks 
were:  American Contemporary Network (news continues at :55; 
targeted for Top 40 and popular music stations), American 
Information Network (news at the top of the hour; targeted for 
news and information stations and full-service stations), American 
Entertainment Network (news at :30; intended for middle-of-the 
road and country-and-western stations), and American FM Network 
(intended for beautiful music FM stations, later evolved into a 
service for album rock stations; news at :15).  WABC, of course, 
opted to go with ABC/Contemporary, leaving its newscasts at :55 
and :25.  Many of the old network features went away at this point 
(Don McNeil's Breakfast Club went to ABC/Entertainment; many of 
the news commentators such as Bob Considine and Alex Drier went to 
ABC/Information; Flare Reports were discontinued.  WABC kept 
Howard Cosell Sports, both at the local and network level.)  The 
reduction of the news block at 6:00pm from one hour and twenty-
five minutes to twenty minutes moved Dan Ingram's shift by one 
hour, from 2:00pm-6:00pm to 3:00pm-7:00pm.  With the deletion of 
the Breakfast Club, Ron Lundy's three hour shift was moved back an 
hour, to start at 10:00am.  This created a rare on-air vacancy at 
WABC; a new 1:00pm-3:00pm shift began at this time.  The shift was 
filled by Roby Yonge, a Florida DJ.

"Welcome Roby Yonge to WABC...And be listening every night for 
WABC's new feature, Jerry Marshall's 'Contemporary Sound Survey,' 
with the Top Hits from ABC/Contemporary stations across the 
country!"
