Good Guys era

In 1960, WMCA began promoting itself by stressing its on-air personalities, who were collectively known as the Good Guys. This was the era of the high-profile Top 40 DJ with an exuberant personality aimed at a certain audience segment. And with the advent of The Good Guys format, WMCA became much more "on top" of new music that was happening in the New York metro area. The Good Guys started to become known for "playing the hits." In the early 60s, the top 40 format was still young, and the field was crowded in NYC. Two major 50,000-watt stations, WMGM and WINS, had battled each other, playing pop music for years. Then in 1960, there was WABC, which also started featuring top 40 music. Ultimately it was WMCA's earnest competition with rival WABC that basically brought about the defection of WMGM (early 1962) and then WINS (Spring 1965) to non-top 40 formats. There was so much attention on the high-profile WMCA-WABC battle that both of the other stations were summarily forced to find a new niche.

Lineup and features

The classic Good Guys era lineup included:

• Morning man Joe O'Brien, an industry veteran whose humor appealed to multiple generations (6am-10am)
• Late morning stalwart Harry Harrison, whose show was explicitly aimed at housewives (there were different cultural assumptions back then) (10am-1pm)
• Early afternoon host Jack Spector, "Look out street, here I come!" (1pm-4pm)
• In afternoon drive time, smooth-talking Texan Dandy Dan Daniel and his daily countdown (4pm-7pm)
• Evening star to teenagers, Gary Stevens and his "Wooleyburger" bear (7pm-11pm) - Gary's first show was in April, 1965.
• BMR, Your Leader, B. Mitchel Reed, was the evening personality on WMCA from 1963-1965. Credit should be given to BMR, as he was part of the team that took WMCA to the top in 1963. He left WMCA in spring, 1965, to return to L.A.'s troubled KFWB, where he had worked before appearing on WMCA. His on-air hours were the same as Gary Stevens (above).
• Barry Gray's ongoing talk show (11pm-1am)
• Overnights, Dean Anthony, "Dino on your radio" with his "Actors and Actresses" game (1am-6am)
• Weekends and fill-in, Ed Baer and Frank Stickle

(On Friday nights, Stevens ended at 10:30 and WMCA's locally-produced, half-hour news show The World Tonite aired; this was a local recap of the week's news, and should not be confused with Garner Ted Armstrong's The World Tomorrow religious program, which was not heard on WMCA until after the Good Guys era ended.)

Daniel's countdown changed once a week, and was of the station's top 25 records. It also included a "Sure Shot" and "Long Shot" of records not yet on the chart. He also gave away his "Hit Kit" everyday to a listener who had been chosen from postcards that were sent in. The "Hit Kit" consisted of a copy of each of the Top 25 records of the week. The listener had to call in when they heard their name on the air to claim their prize.

Local promotions and on-air games such as "Name It and Claim It" were common; most prized were the yellow "Good Guys" sweatshirts, which could be won if a listener's name was read over the air and they called PLaza 2-9944 within a certain time period.

Another distinctive feature of the station was its "Call For Action" help line (PLaza 9-1717), which callers would utilize if they had any of various problems they needed assistance in resolving, usually related to consumer or public-works issues. Call For Action was the name given to telephone help lines maintained by many radio stations in the United States, especially in the 1960s and 1970s. ...

The station had the distinction of playing the first Beatles record on New York radio, in late December 1963, when Jack Spector aired "I Want to Hold Your Hand". WMCA was keen on playing new product, and breaking new hits, and consequently, was the radio station that introduced Beatlemania, and the "British Invasion" music movement to New York City. Not only did WMCA play new music first, but the Good Guys played more music in general, i.e., more hits per hour. While WABC was busy broadcasting New York Mets baseball games in the summer of 1963, WMCA was the music-intensive station that one would hear coming out of transistor radios at the pool and the beach; starting in 1963, The Good Guys were really on their game.

Besides the "Good Guy" personalities and the commitment to play new music, WMCA also excelled in on-air production. Each hour, WMCA presented its music, jingles, promotions, contests, stagers and even commercials in a tight, upbeat style that, to the ear of anyone that switched between WMCA and competitor WABC, would make WABC seem as if it were going at a somewhat slower pace. Some experts attribute this stodgy WABC sound to its staff of longtime (and older) studio engineers. The rumor is that WMCA employed younger, more "hip" board-ops who had a better understanding of the top 40 formatics. Whatever the reason, the sparkling sound presented on-air by WMCA also contributed to its ratings success in New York, the nation's largest radio market.

Competition with WABC

In the 1960s, WMCA's great competition was with rival WABC. The 1960s decade refers to the years from the beginning of 1960 to the end of 1969. ... WABC (770 kHz), known as NewsTalkRadio 77, is a radio station in New York City. ...

It wasn't supposed to happen, but in 1963, 1964, 1965 and 1966, WMCA was the undisputed ratings champ in New York City. WMCA was a directional, 5,000 watt radio station, while WABC operated with 50,000 watts non-directional, on a clear channel. Even though WMCA had a signal in about one-third the ratings area of WABC, it still showed up #1. This is basically because anywhere WMCA had a listenable signal, the audience strongly chose WMCA over WABC. WABC was more popular in the outlying areas where WMCA didn't come in well on a typical 1960s AM radio receiver. The areas where WMCA did not have a strong signal were southwest, west, and northwest of their transmitter in Kearny, NJ. If a listener was anywhere east of WMCA's transmitter, i.e., New York City itself, Westchester County in New York, or Fairfield County in Connecticut, the signal was much stronger. Between 1967 and 1968, WMCA still had a good run in the total survey area and always beat WABC in the city itself.

Arbitron is a radio audience research company in the United States. ... Year 1967 (MCMLXVII) was a common year starting on Sunday (link will display full calendar) of the 1967 Gregorian calendar. ... Year 1968 (MCMLXVIII) was a leap year starting on Monday (link will display full calendar) of the Gregorian calendar. ...

Through the 1960s, WMCA would beat WABC on most Beatle records, scoring firsts, causing WABC headaches. In part desperation, WABC countered by going against their music policy, promising promoter Sid Bernstein to play a new group he was handling first. WABC never added records out of the box, but they did for Sid Bernstein by playing The Young Rascals' "I Ain't Going To Eat Out My Heart Anymore" first. In return, Bernstein would provide the station with exclusive Beatle interviews the next time they were in town. Since WABC knew that WMCA had the Beatles - what could they come up with as a promotion? WABC came up with they thought was a brilliant promotion - "The Order of the All-Americans" - tied with their DJs. They would present these "medals" to each of the Beatles the next time they were in town. Everything was set. The whole idea was to get each Beatle to comment on the "medal" - and say the call letters W-A-B-C, so they could use them in station IDs, promotions, etc. - but the whole thing backfired. WABC got their interviews, but the Beatles were on to them. They wouldn't say the call letters when asked to comment. For the English Indie rock band, see The Rascals (English band) The Rascals (previously The Young Rascals) were an American soul and rock group of the 1960s. ...

Indeed, WMCA played new records faster than its rival WABC. Its weekly countdown was 25 records long instead of WABC's 20, and it included the "Sure Shot" and "Long Shot" speculations. Its countdown was also "faster" than WABC's, in the sense that records climbed to the top quicker, while WABC's rankings tended to follow. A comparison of both stations showed WABC to be two, sometimes three weeks behind WMCA.

Between 1964 and 1968, billboard Magazine rated WMCA as (New York's) most influential station for new records. Although every market had one station with record-buying influence, WMCA was in the top market, making it responsible for producing much of the 1960s hits still heard on oldies radio. Not every record added to the WMCA playlist became a hit, but as soon as sales stirred, late-comer WABC would be forced to add the same record. Also Nintendo emulator: 1964 (emulator). ... It has been suggested that Billboard be merged into this article or section. ...

Although radio historians tend to treat WMCA as the 1960s radio stepchild, radio ratings throughout most of the decade say WMCA beat WABC easily in the New York City area. WABC's audience build-out came outside of the WMCA 5,000 watt listening area. In fact Pulse ratings, which also took a city-area ratings poll, said the WMCA was still beating WABC as late as February 1969. One of these reports stands out. When Pulse took its annual February-March (city-area) ratings in 1967, it found WABC with a 6 share against WMCA's 15 share. Also: 1969 (number) 1969 (movie) 1969 (Stargate SG-1) episode. ... Year 1967 (MCMLXVII) was a common year starting on Sunday (link will display full calendar) of the 1967 Gregorian calendar. ...

WMCA's eventual slippage wasn't due to WABC - both stations could compete fine even though WMCA had less power. Because WMCA had such big New York City numbers, any city-based competitor would and did become a ratings issue. This began to happen as early as 1967 with the ascendence of a soul station (WWRL) and two "album oriented rock" stations- WOR-FM and finally in 1968, WNEW-FM. All three took an average 6 rating points away from WMCA. WWRL is a radio station in New York City, broadcasting at 1600 kHz AM owned by Access. ... Radio station WOR-FM was signed on the air in New York in 1948. ... WNEW is a New York City FM radio station operating at 102. ...

Chaos and transition

In 1968, a chaotic period began in which Gary Stevens disappeared to Switzerland and Harry Harrison moved to WABC. WMCA then started experimenting with some talk programming as part of "Power Radio", with hosts ranging from Domenic Quinn to countercultural Alex Bennett. WMCA also began playing album cuts in addition to singles, with the slogan "The hits and the heavies". Disc jockeys left, came back, and left again in short order; new jocks appeared with vague names (Lee Gray was originally "Lee Your Leader") and bizarre stunts (Frankie Crocker played two very short songs over and over again for an hour); the "Good Guys" were partly reassembled, then dropped again; even reliable Dean Anthony, who was concurrently working at a country music station, sometimes got all the slogans mixed up on air.

Talk era

The station finally adopted a full-time talk radio format labelled "Dial-Log Radio" in 1970 and the "Good Guys" era was over for good. Jack Spector stayed on to host a sports talk show, while Bob Grant debuted in New York radio as the house Conservative and "Long John" Nebel was a fixture on overnights.

Later in the 1970s John Sterling hosted one of the first confrontational sports talks shows, as well as doing play-by-play for the New York Islanders and games that WMCA carried. It was there that his knowledgable but bombastic and over-the-top broadcasting style would first be heard. WMCA also carried New York Yankees games for much of the 1970s, with the classic Yankees broadcasting crew of Frank Messer, Phil Rizzuto, and Bill White. During the 1970s, ratings were healthy for WMCA as a talk station. Most surveys showed the station in the top 10. This was before WOR became exclusively talk, and also before WABC changed to talk in the early 1980s. The 1970s decade refers to the years from 1970 to 1979; it is commonly called The Seventies. ...

In recent years, WMCA has attempted to establish a connection back to its "Good Guys" era. Their website has a tribute to the 1960s jocks [1], while their current air personalities — "a whole new team of 'Good Guys' filling the airwaves with the Good News" — make appearances and give out an updated version of the Good Guys sweatshirt [2]. On air, the station is billed as "The Home of the Good Guys" and 1960s-style Good Guys jingles are sometimes used to identify personalities on air.
