(1968)

Roby Yonge arrived as a DJ at WABC just when the station hit
 its stride as the most listened to radio station of all time.

If not for that amazing timing, Roby might not even
be remembered for his relatively short time in New York.

But... he was at the right place at the right time to
become a name that Musicradio WABC fans remember well.

Jim Perry

You may not remember Jim Perry as a DJ at WABC...
It's much more likely you remember him from his career as a TV Game Show Host
for shows like "Card Sharks" and "$ale of the Century".

But... he was a DJ at WABC for a short time in 1972.
And... just to prove it, we have an aircheck!
