I know there,s a bunch of new yorkers out there ( i guess talk host hasn't figured out how to filter yankee fans), and i'm amazed nobody mentioned Joey Reynolds on WKBW. We could only hear it late at night in worcester, ma, but we didlisten almost every night.

In my teen years it was WCSH and WGAN, Portland, Maine.

In The Villages, I'm too busy to listen to radio.

Mulligan,

I just don't understand how a Yankee fan got by the filter.

I grew up in Boston and on Cape Cod. Mostly I listened to WHDH, partly because they did baseball (Curt Gowdy), partly because that's what my mother had on most of the time. I remember especially Bob & Ray, who were locals 'way back then.

When I moved to St. Louis, there was, in any sane person's mind, only one AM station: KMOX. It is sadly not at all what it was in the sixties through the nineties, but it still dominates.

On the other hand, my real love was classical music. Available only on "Classical 99," KFUO-FM. Now, my only source of such music has reverted to HD Radio, and is really available only on-line, since my newly-acquired HD radio won't pick up either Gainesville/Inverness or Orlando. Bah!

What stations were your companions during your teen years?

Growing up in northern VT I listened to them ALL at night. My favorites were WMEX (Arnie Ginsburg) and WBZ (Carl Desuze with music and news) in Boston, WKBW in Buffalo, WPTR (the tri-cities and the great Northeast), and the local favorite WDOT in Burlington VT. Oh yeah, WINS too and WABC. I miss those days...

[Allen]

1020 KDKA for Pirate Baseball, 1410 KQV for Top 40, 1390 WMCK/WIXZ for the "Magic of the T.L. Sound" (Music for Young Lovers), 1590 WZUM "High... at the top of the dial" for R&B and 860 WAMO for the "stacks and stacks of wax" spun by that "Platter Pushin' Papa"... Porky (the Original Bossman) Chedwick (credited for being the inventor of "Oldies" radio)!

Does anyone out there know what the heck I am talking about?

Hey Mulligan,

You need to take a mulligan and re-read posts from Yankee fans.

It's this World Champion Yankee Fan who mentioned Joey Reynolds in the post below dated December 15th.

Anyone remember when Reynolds was fired from KBW, he nailed his shoes to the door with a note that read "Try and fill these, Baby!!!!"

On real good nights, under the covers, listened to Ft. Wayne Knights or Comets??.... hockey on WOWO...powerful signal.

Demonstrating the typical graciousness and flexibility of a Red Sox fan, I apologize for missing the Reynolds post. GO SOX!!!!!!!!
