WCBS Newsradio's 40th Anniversary

[Todd Glickman]

Just down I-95... this coming Tuesday, August 28th is WCBS Newsradio 
88(0)'s 40th Anniversary.  Current and past staffers will be 
attending an open house, and there will be many on-air tributes.

My colleague, anchor-extraordinaire Wayne Cabot, put together a 
"megamix" of the jingle that ran from 1979-1982.  Listen to the 
megamix at http://web.mit.edu/glickman/www/NEWSISmegamix.mp3.  The 
original on-air version was 23 seconds as heard here 
http://web.mit.edu/glickman/www/newsis1.wav.  [In 1979, my origiinal 
"drop in" had to be recorded live in the studio to get it to fit 
perfectly in the donut.  So WCBS sent me a plane ticket to come down 
from Boston for a 10 minute studio session just for that purpose. 
That was well before my ISDN :)  I had just started on-air there, my 
home-town radio station, and thought that was really cool of them to 
fly me home!]

Other great stuff can be found on the WCBS Web site at

I'll be there on Tuesday... it should be a great listen, either 
on-air or on-line.
