From what I've been told, the Carteret site operated from l935 to l968 or early '69 and was a figure-8 directional pattern to cover both NYC and Philadelphia. As Philly got more of its own stations, WOR moved its transmitter to Lyndhurst NJ to better cover the New York metro along with Northern NJ and southern CT.

John Wingate had the smoothest delivery of the news on WOR 7:10 am radio. Jean Shepherd was a treasure, what a story teller.

These were not the "old" WOR towers. The "old" WOR towers were a self-supporting duo in Carteret NJ and dated from the 1930s, I think. The ones that are pictured here are the "new" ones in Livingston NJ, put up in the 1970s.

Oh man. truly an icon of my kidhood, the towers I gazed at from the back seat of my dad's Olds; the towers that brought Jean Shepherd's voice to the transister radio I hid under my covers. Well, the towers may be gone, but Flick lives!
