Saturday Night Oldies 6:00 PM - 10:00 PM WABC Brings Back Oldies!77WABC, the station that invented
Oldies Radio, is bringing it back on Saturday nights. WABC airs
"Saturday Night Oldies" with
Mark Simone from 6-10pm, as we turn back the hands of time. Listen to the hit songs, the old jingles and sound clips that made WABC the most listened to radio station in the world!
WABC Program Director,
Phil Boyce, said "WABC is the station you grew up with, and now we are bringing a little of your youth back to the WABC of today."
Mark Simone, who already hosts Saturday morning 6-10am returns at night for the music show. "They said that day in 1982 when
WABC went talk was the day the music died, but now we are bringing it back to life," said Boyce. The show will feature interviews with celebrities, as they remember the glory days of AM rock radio, when WABC was reaching as many as 8 million listeners a week, from Connecticut down to the Jersey Shore, and all over the 38 states and 7 countries where WABC can still be heard!
Today
WABC is the most listened to
News Talk radio station in the nation, but back then WABC was the most listened to radio station period, with great hosts like
Dan Ingram,
Cousin Bruce,
Harry Harrison, and
Herb Oscar Anderson. WABC's "Saturday Night Oldies" show captures a bit of the magic.
