WINS and WCBS have been sister stations since 1995. They complement one another in that WCBS is more sedate, whereas WINS is more "in your face". An analogy would be that WCBS appeals to the Wall Street types, while WINS is geared more to the cabbie, the truck driver, etc. Also, WCBS leans more toward national and world news, where WINS focuses more on NYC. Both are damned good stations, and if I'm ever again in they New York area, I'll listen to both of them occasionally.
The teletype SFX heard over Michael O'Neil and Judy DeAngelis in the WINS segment came from Track B14, "Teletypes," of the 1964 Elektra album "Authentic Sound Effects Vol. 2" (EKS-7252), from the days when WINS broadcast in AM stereo. They would use a loop from that right up to early 2020.
WINS is a good station in its own way, but in the words of an old Jerry Lee Lewis song "He's walking in my tracks, but he can't fill my shoes." I had hoped WINS would pick up the hourly CBS News, but it doesn't seem likely to happen. Posting 9-7-24.
This was before the days you would have to issue a disclaimer saying "hey, You know that WCBS station that we are framing as better than the WINS station? Yeah, it's because the CBS letters in front of their station and our station belong to the same company."
Hi Wayne! Big fan of you and WCBS 880, underrated and sometimes feels the forgotten station by the local media! Still waiting for Channel 2 to do a story of the anniversary from wayback in August! To my question: at 2:21 I hear Dean Sheapard's voice for a second. I heard your podcast with your recent interview of Ray Hoffman, and from that talk, it seems that Dean was working for the BusinessWeek radio? I thought he joined CNBC at launch in 1989, previously with NBR in Miami. Was this a side gig that CNBC allowed him to appear? I was binge-listening to your podcasts over the weekend, and trying to figure out when WCBS began formal business and market coverage, was there a specific year when they started that?
Ms. Quinn returned to WCBS in 2022 when she and a few WCBS'ers were in a swap where some of those at WCBS went to WINS. Where she'll go next, now that WCBS is shutting down, is a mystery at this point.
Correct! CBS bought out Westinghouse, WINS' parent company, in 1995. Prior to then, if somebody had said WINS and WCBS would be sister stations, they'd probably have been committed. Really, though, the two complement one another. WINS is more locally-oriented, while WCBS leans more toward national and international news. Also, WCBS is more sedate, while WINS tends to be in-your-face. WCBS is like the stockbroker: WINS is like the cabbie or truck driver, if you catch my drift. I haven't been in NYC since 1982, and back then I listened to WHN (1050, now WEPN) when I could get it. Were I to go to NYC today, it's a tough call where my dial would be. I might listen to WNSH, the country station, but I know I'd spend a lot of time switching back and forth between WCBS and WINS.
The WINS sounder music heard from 0:27-0:34 and 0:41-0:42 was a snippet of a longer piece that was used for years as the theme music for Dr. Arnold Pike's long-running TV series "Viewpoint on Nutrition" (familiar to New Yorkers in the 1970's via WOR-TV/9) as per: watch?v=FvvtecThJ5c (at the beginning) and watch?v=_PXGxmFZTdM (at the end) Can anyone pinpoint that piece's origins?
@@wmbrown6 I believe it’s Paul Anthony. He’s also the original voice/announcer for “Washington Week (with the Atlantic”] since 1967. The “with the Atlantic” title was added August 11, 2023 with Jeffrey Goldberg as the series 10th moderator on PBS.
@@bossradio930 - No, Mr. Anthony didn't V/O WINS sounders until 1993. This voice - heard since about 1975-76 - died around this time, and the station was paying his estate for awhile until they decided to update the sounder and first hire Mr. Anthony to do them. The question is, who was THIS voiceover?

At 1:22, Imus said he listened to them> In later years, Imus would work at one of WINS' sister stations, namely WFAN.
Actually, he already was at WFAN when he said that. It was just years later that they were taken over by WINS' owner.

Bridgette Quinn now morning anchor at WINS.
She replaced Judy De Angelis, seen at 0:53
Ms. Quinn returned to WCBS in 2022 when she and a few WCBS'ers were in a swap where some of those at WCBS went to WINS. Where she'll go next, now that WCBS is shutting down, is a mystery at this point.
UPDATE: Ms. Quinn will be hosting a 2-hour talk show on WICC 600 in Bridgeport, CT.
now both stations owned by cubs

We've all learnt since then: "Construction Site" by Ib Glindemann from the 'Hi-Q' library. Now for who voiced those sounders?
