Scott Muni on WABC
January 31, 1963

Here's a rare Scott Muni aircheck courtesy of Gary Liebisch from about the same time as the above survey.
The quality could be better but Gary did his best to clean it up.
We have so little of Scott on WABC that it's much appreciated!

How about that for a fantastic picture?
Shadoe Steele contributed it to Musicradio77.com and commented:

That's my pride and joy
It is
a candid that the Chief Engineer took of Ingram in 1971 (early
Fall).
I wouldn't trade that one for the
world!

Here's what Dan sounded like at about that time.
A great aircheck to go with a great photo.
The photo and aircheck will remind you of why you loved WABC!

It might have seemed that McDonalds got all the promotions
with WABC after the very successful $25,000 Button.

However, WABC worked with competitor Burger King as well.

This is the "WABC Bicentennial Car Star" which qualified
those who were spotted with it on their cars for prizes.

In 1976, almost everyone was jumping on the Bicentennial bandwagon.
WABC was no exception
