Weekly issue #532

Talent: DAN INGRAM, DON K. REED, BOB SHANNON
Station: WCBS-FM New York
Date: October, 1991

It was pure radio heaven, the likes of which we'll probably never see again.

In 1991, the WCBS-FM lineup consisted of Harry Harrison in mornings, Ron Lundy in late mornings, Bill Brown afternoons, Bob Shannon afternoon drive, Bobby Jay evenings, Don K. Reed late evenings and Max Kinkle all night. Rounding that off was a superb weekend crew that included Cousin Brucie (who also did Wednesday evenings), Dan Ingram, Marc Sommers and Gary Clark.

Three of those jocks - Dan Ingram, Don K. Reed and Bob Shannon - can be heard on this WCBS-FM mini-composite from that time.

Enjoy this terrific trio on WCBS-FM here.
