August 12, 1988 aircheck of WHUD Peekskill, NY with ex-WMCA "Good Guy" Ed Baer. Aircheck recorded from Philadelphia. 100 air-miles DX.
The Wikipedia article on WHUD provides a lot of information about the station during this period, "The Bonneville format consisted largely of instrumental covers of pop songs with some vocal standards. Some Adult Contemporary artists were mixed into the music rotation with one vocal track per 15 minutes under the work of Program Director (and morning personality) Joe O'Brien. Prior to his work at WHUD, O'Brien was one of the WMCA Good Guys and had been doing mornings on the NYC station since the early 60's.
During this early period, WHUD branded its format as Music From the Terrace, a term named for the location of WHUD's studios on Radio Terrace, a public street, in the town of Cortlandt, New York.
In 1986, Joe O'Brien retired and was replaced by long time NYC radio personality Ed Baer. Baer spent a total of 18 years broadcasting in the New York market, also as one of the WMCA good guys then on country station WHN and later on WYNY. He stayed in the morning show position until he retired for the second time in 2000."
I loved this station in the 90s, you could hear really obscure adult contemporary/easy listening stuff with an emphasis on songs from soundtracks....
