- WMCA morning talent Herb Oscar Anderson along with evening WMCA DJ, Scott Muni, were just about to join a new top-40 station - WABC. Here’s a piece of Herb’s final two shows on WMCA. His ratings at WMCA were about a 12 share. WABC had a 4 share, but along with Herb and WABC's new format - would begin to ascend a year or so later.

I was 11 years old in 1960 and listened to WMCA faithfully.😊
I have wonderful memories of Herb Oscar Anderson in the morning! Certain NYC bus drivers would play his morning show and we all could listen and enjoy!
boy this brings back memories when I was in the sixth grade..this was a week before the big blizzard in NYC...then a horrible plane crash marred the Christmas season...
“Hello again. Here’s my best to you… “ HOA may have been playing Rock n Roll, but he was a calm, dependable, and reassuring voice that helped millions start their day.
Thank you!
love and miss hoa i'm a real old radio fan
Very nice HOA aircheck!
This was where HOA started at WMCA back in 1960 until the started at WABC a year later in 1961 where Joe O'Brien beats him in the ratings. And now, he is gone too soon. He will surely be missed by millions of fans who grew up in morning radio.
RIP: HOA :-(
HOA started on WABC two days after this aired - December 5, 1960.

THE GREATEST DJ EVER
Interesting to hear WMCA before it became known as "The home of the Good Guys".
63 Years Ago.
I remember those foreign language promos on WMCA. I think they were sponsored by Berlitz school of languages
will somebody build a time machine already! i'm ready to go back there.
Danny D You're not alone. This world is a nightmare.
Include me! More decency back then.
Me too! I am a New Yorker who grew up in NYC in the 1960s during the Mad Men era.
@@luislaplume8261 i love when someone replies to a comment i made 5 years ago. it brings me back to enjoy the video once again. btw...still no time machine!
@@DannyD714 That is why I consider myself fortunate to have blue collar parents who went from poor to middle class and I remember doing an adult job with my late father who worked the midnight shift because he had more things to do than usual and I was still a boy. This happened in 1966 in Bushwick, Brooklyn where he worked in a knitting mill. And when both radio and TV were fun to listen to and watch, not the you are guilty for whatever problem society has. That is why I despise the radio of today, TV of today. And watch out for 100 percent Politically Correct TV series this coming September season of the 3 TV monopolies, ABC, CBS, NBC. The Assinine Broadcasting Company ABC .The Conjob Broadcasting System CBS. The Nitwit Broadcasting Company NBC.
4:35…Bob and Ray at their peak…
Last show must have been on Friday, December 2.
At 1:31 Newspaper clip of Plane crash in Bkln about 1 mile from our apt, a little boy actually survived this crash only to pass away the next day
Will never forget it. Television networks interrupted shows to announce that 2 planes collided over New York City- and possibly 3 planes, which wasn't so. What a tragedy. The little boy was 11y/o, my age.

The plane which crashed in Staten Island landed about a half mile from my house.
I was seven years old and in the second grade in elementary school. How about that?!?
Much more at www.mrpopculture.com covering years 1955 through yesterday.
Why did he only last 1 year? Never even knew he had a stint at WMCA.
Really. Not Joe O'brien? I think by then he was on WABC
This is early December 1960.

And Joe O'Brien eventually moved to WNBC and was eventually replaced by Don Imus ("Imus in the morning) who went after the WOR John "rambling with Gambling" Gambling show audience. "Gambling your rambling days are gone, when it's raining it's pouring, here's Imus in the morning".
I was born in '67, but doesn't everything from this era seem so uplifting and decent? It contrasts like nght and day with today's trashy times. Ooooo, the young soon to be burn-out hippies at the time were so set on desecrating this notion. They threw society into a nose-dive and were getting closer and closer to ground. Yes, we needed to work on medical advancements and civil rights, but did we need to do it with a nihilistic pill-popping culture?
Come on! The presentation via media was white-washed, but all the problems of today existed then too. We didn’t have information systems that gave us direct access to the facts on the ground. Since then, media and reality have come closer, even if they are distorted in other ways, possibly in a more sensationalistic and anxiety-provoking way. But the reality of society was nowhere near Mayberry.
Yeah, and the "other side" shoved it's head up its ass about "civil rights", "medical advancements", etc etc...and has never taken it out ever since. All the while adopting the "nihilistic pill-popping culture"! We're getting closer to the ground because of THAT. The reaction to "oh my god, we have to give civil rights to EVERYONE?" And of course: "Let's de-regulate FDR! ANd T.R.! Let's crap all over the policies of the two Republicans on Mount Rushmore, and adopt the policies of the three corrupt and incompetent Republican slugs who helped make the Great Depression so great! Save your caterwauling, Dopey Joe. You were born in '67? That means YOU'RE a big part of the problem.
P.S. The dopey Vietnam War, and the dirtbag Nixon administration certainly had NOTHING to do with all that's come since. The Southern strategy, Lee Atwater, inviting the brain-dead religious right into the political process (so that they could sell out the country).......get the f**k out of here with your laying everything at the feet of people who were WAY cooler than you EVER were.
