After 32 years at WMCA, Joe O'Brien went cross-town to WNBC.

O'Brien, who left WMCA in 1968 as the "Good Guys" era was ending, joined former Good Guy Jack Spector at his new address. By 1971, O'Brien was gone, replaced by none other than Don Imus.

The next year O'Brien began a 14-year run in mornings at WHUD Peekskill, N.Y., and also made special appearances at WCBS-FM. He died in 2005 in a car crash, just one week after his 90th birthday.
