MTV, the growth of FM and a funny story about

Scott Muni

Scott Muni was a personality at WABC from 1960 until 1965.
But, he's best remembered for his many years at WNEW-FM.

On June 28th, he was inducted into the New York State Broadcaster's Association Hall of Fame.
One of his close WNEW-FM co-workers and friends was Dennis Elsas (now of WFUV).
This week, Dennis featured an excellent segment he did with Scott back in 1979:
