GEORGE MICHAEL
WABC New York
July 13-14, 1977 (Pt. 1 - UNSCOPED)

(Contributor:
Don Shuttleworth)
In an instant, George Michael
went from disc jockey to news anchor.
The veteran jock was forced to
switch roles midway through his early evening
show on WABC when a blackout engulfed New York
City. Michael was aided by WABC's crack news
staff, late night jock Chuck Leonard, and fellow
jocks Dan Ingram and Steve O'Brien who call in.
Power was restored the next day but not before a
night of looting that claimed four lives and
caused $300 million in damage.
Enjoy George Michael's anchoring
of the New York City blackout on WABC from July
13-14, 1977 (Pt. 1 - UNSCOPED) ... in the Aircheck
of The Week.
