It's cool to see this footage, especially because it's nothing like this anymore! All of the songs are on digital files and there's a computer and computer program that basically runs the entire station. The on-air personalities basically make announcements, take phone calls, run contests, and provide some entertainment as filler between the songs. Most of the playing of the music & jingles and all technical stuff is automated and done by the computer. The old days of actual "DJ's" are gone.
love those sono cuts, in fact, just came off of jingle mad, and downloaded a montage which featured some sonos of yours from the 70's jam era till current! loved every minute of it!
Wow... Z100 looks like some medium market station in this video. Not at all what I expected the great WHTZ/New York to look like even in 1992. From the bland, suburban office building to the quiet, lonely looking studio. Were the studios in Newark back then?
Click on "more info" and read the extra details! As it says, the studios were in Secaucus. And even though they did have a view of the NY skyline from that building, the window in the air studio actually faced west- AWAY from NYC, and overlooking lovely swampland. Scott Shannon told me that they decided to do that when constructing the facility so that jocks wouldn't be overwhelmed by looking at Manhattan all day. It seemed a bit odd to me, even then.

0:29 Why do DJ's like this literally SHOUT like that? I'd be tuning out straight away. Great jingles, though.
