   Those were the days weren't they, Doug.  From Trenton, late at night, I   
   could tune in Dick Biondi at WLS in Chicago ("turn into peanut   
   butter!!") and WABC in New York ("if you see a bleeding madras on the   
   sidewalk, leave a note on it that says "I care").  My fave was WKBW in   
   Buffalo (the Tommy Shannon show).
