 AM 1490 WOLF Syracuse, Top 100 of 1972 with Howie Castle (31:42)

   This was my very first original recording from on December 31, 1972 when I was 15 years old in Liverpool, NY. Unfortunately most of the jingles and all commercials were left out. Howie’s first radio gig in the 1960’s was on Radio Caroline then moved to Syracuse’s AM 1260 WNDR in 1968 and AM 1490 WOLF in early 1969 as WOLF changed format from country to The very successful Top 40 (KHJ) DRAKE Radio Format with 20/20 news.
