This is part two of our look back to October, 1966, and the first day of live programming on WOR-FM/New York, the nation’s first commercial radio station to play rock music on the FM band. Personalities heard on part 2 are Scott Muni and Murray The K. This was originally a scoped aircheck, but I’ve restored all of the music for a better listening experience.
