I remember that day and I cried when I heard the silence after the station turned off the transmitter and it went over to wfan. I don't follow sports,I don't even care about sports I loved WNBC DAMN IT. I recorded and saved a small bunch of Imus and Howard stern shows, some in their entirety, and still have them on reels of tape. I live to hear Imus when he was younger and his voice was stronger, he was very funny
From late 1987, till practically the end of WNBC, I would call Big Jay Sorensen about once a month on the overnight "Time Machine". I've lived in West Virginia all my life, and he would rib me about being a hillbilly. He said New Yorkers got a kick out of my southern accent. I wouldn't trade those days for being the president. Although I have fond memories of WNBC, my all-time favorite station was, hands down, WHN. As anybody who knows anything at all about NYC radio is aware 660 is now WFAN, which was on 1050 after WHN went to its eternal glory.
I was in my car driving through New Have, Ct. coming home from work. I listened to Alan Colmes sign off and The Fan signing on but I can't remember who was the first host. Maybe Mike + The Mad Dog show. You know, come out of the gate w/the big guns.
A West Coast "Radio City" for the National Broadcasting Company (NBC) was built in San Francisco in the early 1940s. It housed KPO-AM 680 (later KNBC-AM and still later KNBR-AM) and KGO-AM 810, the West Coast "flagship" NBC radio stations for the Red and Blue NBC networks. KGO-AM soon became an ABC radio station. The radio stations left that building long ago, but a very interesting mural remains: www.artandarchitecture-sf.com/tenderloin-san-francisco-december-11-2011.html The mural symbolizes the far reach of radio signals and how they tied together diverse cultures.

good old channel nine
WNBC died the day Stern was fired.
You can say that again!
W eeeeNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN B C (As stern said it in his flick)
Actually, it started dying after GE bought RCA (including NBC), which was around the time Stern got future endeavored.
Since October 8, 1988, 660 on the AM dial in New York, has become WFAN! The Sports Station of New York! Where the Fan Comes First!

"Mr Extreme Engineering" voice sounds very modern.
I LISTENED TO WNBC 660 AM WHEN IT WAS ON THE AIR.
Ted Brown (perhaps intentionally) flips the bird at the suits!
WNBC 660 AM WENT OFF THE AIR ON OCTOBER 7TH IN 1988.
IT WAS REPLACED WITH WFAN 660 AM.
WWOR=My9
In This Clip, From 0:02 To 0:29, It Was WWOR-TV's Channel 9 News At 10 Video Open And 2 Video Bumpers From Friday Night, October 7, 1988.
WNBC 660 AM
In This Clip, From 0:00 To 0:02, It Was WWOR-TV's Poison Ivy Video ID For Monay Night, October 10, 1988.
I wonder, when WNBC-TV signs off forever, do you think anyone will care?
Everyone will
Half the country's TV stations would have to find a new affiliate if that ever happened.
@@inny74And that WNBC-TV is the *flagship station* of the NBC network (just like WABC and WCBS)!
WNBC 660 AM
