Original aircheck of radio station WABC in New York City.
Exact date not known, but was recorded sometime around October 1969.
The great Dan Ingram was the DJ.

To see the actual radio from which this aircheck was recorded, see my video of the song "In The Year 2525" posted here:

This aircheck brings home everything this channel represents, which is that records during that time were made to sound their best in mono for broadcast on AM Top 40 radio. NOT in stereo, for pop music during that time was rare to hear on FM stereo radio.
This aircheck also allows you to hear EXACTLY how it sounded in 1970. Radio stations like WABC used lots of audio "processing" to make the music sound it's best when heard on either a car radio's 6 X 9 inch dashboard speaker, or from an AM Transistor Radio's tiny 3-1/2 inch speaker. As a result, these AM radio stations added reverb and then highly "compressed" the audio, which made it sound even louder. You can hear that in this aircheck!

I thought it was funny how Dan said Green Liver by Creedence Clearwater Revivial during the intro and I was also wondering does the yellow WABC music note pictured in the video have a name?

Green Liver! Man, that was hilarious. I was always amazed how Dan Ingram could think up funny stuff to say. I listened to the "Ingram Mess", on the days I got sick of WICC and WNBC but I now wish I had listened to it everyday. WABC had the best of the best Radio Personalities, Dan Ingram was like the ring leader. Harry Harrison, Ron Lundy, Johnny Donovan, Chuck Leonard, Bruce Morrow, all were fantastic. Dan Ingram was the best of the best. He made me laugh and my childhood wasn't the best.
