Aircheck Of The Week
When programming consultant Bill Drake brought his Boss Radio format to New York, he renamed it "The Big Town Sound." Listen now as Steve Clark plays the hits and misses, and gives you a chance to win a Thanksgiving turkey if you call WOR-FM at the sound of the big bird. It's November 1969 on Boss Radio 66.
