I liked WMCA for its broader playlist while WABC's was much too restrictive for me. When the Beatles released a record they would fight over which station played it first. Winning a WMCA Good Guy sweatshirt as seen above was a big prize for their listeners. Both stations had legendary personalities. The major WMCA personalities included:
- Joe O'Brien
- Harry Harrison
- Jack Spector
- Dan Daniel
- B. Mitchell Reed
- Gary Stevens
- Dean Anthony
- Ed Baer
- Frank Stickle
In September 1970 the station adopted a talk format and eventually became a religious broadcaster as it is today. The following websites provide useful information about the station.
