WTFM (Vol 82) FM Radio – Lake Success LI – Late 1960s thru 1970s

Hilda Sasson was an avid fan of WTFM Radio, which broadcast from Lake Success, NY in the 1960s and 1970s; to wit she tape-recorded (while her husband John, an avid listener himself, enjoyed her efforts) – mostly in stereo – approximately 300(!) hours of music as it was actually being broadcast by WTFM.

Hilda kept in touch with, and gave over 125 WTFM air-check reel-to-reel tapes to two of the announcers – Charles Duval and Doug Eames (aka Doug Jeffers). As of this writing Doug Eames (greatly assisted by Daniel Medina) is in process of getting those tapes uploaded onto YouTube, where one can search for WTFM to see the latest uploads. Thank you, Hilda!!

Some WTFM announcers back in the 1960s and 1970s were: Gordon Baker, Bryce Bond, Bob Dell, Charles Duval, Rhett Evers, Doug Jeffers (nee Eames), Tom Mercein, Tom Overton, Ted Rado, Joe Sheehan, John Anthony Zee, ID announcer Gerry Janes, salesman and part-time announcer Gene Edwards, newsman-king Fred Darwin and music program director Mark Smith.
