- Three recordings of New York City's WCBS Newsradio 88; one from 2004 and two from 2007. Features the "bong" top-of-hour network chime and the automation "chirps" that tell affiliate stations that it's time to either join the network (just before the "bong") or to cut back to local programming.

Awesome! I remember being able to pick up WCBS in Ohio and have a recording of it with the older orchestration of the CBS news theme. I made an entire 30-minute reel of tape of nothing but jingles and legal ID's from the mid 90's and was trying to edit and upload it, Windoze movie maker crashed last night so I will see if I can try and do it again.
I've picked up WCBS 88 as well on the East Coast and in OSU country. A great station
The sound quality is amazing.
Love the sound quality! I have a good set of earbuds, which no doubt helps. At 0:49, heard the chirp that CBS Radio used back in the day.
The Denon TU-680NAB is one of the best-sounding AM Stereo tuners ever made. It was very expensive when new and not many were sold, but I was lucky to get mine on eBay back in 2004. The Marantz also sounds pretty good on AM.
AM Stereo was a great match for talk radio. I always felt that AM had a more natural sound for voice than FM.
Speaking of AM Stereo, this sounds odd but i had this old GE personal am/fm/cassette player and i could actually trick it to decode AM Stereo signals by using a 2nd am receiver near by to emit a frequency adjacent to the am stereo broadcast. I had to line it up just right for it to work but it did.
Yeah as you can tell I had allot of time on my hands at one point. lol
WCBS AM should've aired a crossover promo. "Scott Pelley-the former voice of CBS Radio Updates now anchors Evening News." The fact is that if Katie Couric hadn't left Today, Pelley would've succeeded Schieffer.
The digital encoding delay of HD Radio made the CBS network top-of-hour "bong" useless because on stations transmitting HD, the bong would arrive at your radio 8½ seconds too late (even on an analog radio, because the analog signal is delayed to match up with the digital HD signal).
CBS's 1010 WINS in New York still transmits time tones at the top and bottom of the hour, though, since it is locally generated and they run the station's clock 8½ seconds ahead of real-time to counteract the delay.
we have WBZ 1030 in Boston

@@vwestlife at 0:31 there was some sound u will her after he says it's 5:00
Wow! I have always wondered what that chirp sound was. Do you know anything more about them?
I like listening to the male announcers on this station. They put humor in their broadcast and Craig Allen is a great weatherman, but I cannot stand listening to the female announcers. There is too much “Vocal Fry” deliverance in their voice.
