Aircheck Of The Week

 

It’s January, 1970, the dawn of a new decade. Bob Lewis is on WABC-FM, which will become known as WPLJ by the end of the year. WABC-FM was deep into the syndicated ABC-FM “Love” format by this point. Album rock radio was still in its relative infancy at this moment in time, and you’ll hear both classic rock and psychedelic obscurities.
