Harry Harrison on WABC in 1968 

Harry Harrison started on WABC 45 years ago this month.
He replaced Herb Oscar Anderson in mornings and remained with WABC for 11 years.

Harry came to WABC from its then chief competitor WMCA.
Harry had been at WMCA since 1959 in middays and had achieved a large following.

Unfortunately, we don't have an aircheck of Harry's first day on WABC (September 23, 1968)
 but we do have Harry's last WMCA show (September 21, 1968).
So, in a break with our usual protocol, here's Harry's last WMCA show... 2 days before he started at WABC!
