97YNY was a great station, Its a shame NBC sold it, I remember the station had several format changes in the 70's and 80's including a all news format that backfired on them,then they did an all beatles format for a very short time, Originally WRCA-FM,WNBC-FM,WNWS,then WYNY.
If I remember right, WYNY-FM was a country station when it swapped dial positions with then WQHT-FM 103.5 in the great frequency swap of 1988.

97 WYNY was the best station in NYC in the
'80's...Dan Daniel, Steve O'Brien, Mark Sommers, "Dr. Ruth", "Saturday with Sinatra".
Other stations, like WPIX, tried to copy the format/air personality mix but failed.

I Remember 97 WYNY in an aircheck CD, and it was one of NYC's soft rock stations. Today it's known as WQHT, Hot 97. What up, dawg!
