The WNEW post jostled my memory. When life was simple and I had time to do non-sensical things (now I have time, but life isn't simple) I wrote a letter to WNEW management giving them advice on how to save the station. "Stop playing schlock like Jerry Vale and Frankie Laine, Instead mix Ella and Frank with classic jazz like Lester Young, Oscar Peterson, etc." Here's a WNEW slide show complete with theme music.

If you ever get a chance and want to spin some Frank Sinatra, Lena Horne, Mel Torme, big band or anything from the 40s, 50s give this room a try http://turntable.fm/the_make_believe_ballroom I am trying to establish it as a jazz room without limitations.
