Thank you plj for 48 years of great memories we will miss you a lot thank you guys 😢and may we remember plj for many years to come and rip 1970s to 2019 goodbye PLJ😢❤
This was my favorite radio station growing up in the NYC area. Even when I moved out of town, I would listen online every morning. Will miss this station!
I’m just glad that there was dead air and didn’t immediately join the network feed in progress after Race Taylor signed off. The dead air heightened the transition and made it more potent.
Race Taylor worked for me at my station just right outside Nashville and was doing middays at WPLJ. This was the days before Cumulus bought up Citadel. Race was on afternoons here and my station did very well with Race Taylor. My wife and I would always have him on our Christmas List! I miss him!

Cloud Channel continues to decimate classic, heritage radio stations. From WABC-FM to WPLJ, ABC ran a couple of great stations. Citadel couldn't handle it and Cloud Channel ended up destroying it and turning it into a K-Love zombie.
Sorry I didn't mean to post that yet but as I was saying if you get your listeners to buy the Terk AM Advantage Loop you will definitely get listeners because they can hear you for 2.5 miles. Setting up a transmitter can be as easy or as hard as you make it. You can set up a procaster which is going to cost you close to $900 but you pretty much install the transmitter is high as you can find a blank am Channel somewhere between 1620 and 1700 kilohertz. You should try to find a frequency that is as quiet as you can find at night because remember night time skip you can't do much about. The talking house transmitter with its brand new range extender 2.5 is pretty easy to set up you can get 50 feet of coax or 100 ft of coax and again try to install the antenna as high as possible and make sure you tune until the meter gets the highest you can get it. This applies to either transmitter. The antenna tuning unit for the talking house is about $400 and if you get the enhanced audio version of the talking house you're looking at about $187 for that. Sorry it's not cheap but once you're set up you could either broadcast your own album-oriented rock station or rebroadcast Stars. You don't have to sit back and watch corporate radio be polluted with top 40 and rap and all of the god casters. Search Google for or TH-cam for The Legacy 1640 Khz to see real range reception at one of the quarter miles from my transmitter and as you can see it's quite listenable. You can also check out the station's main web page as it has the links to all of the videos as well as treating yourself to some real album-oriented Rock and maybe we could set up our own network of rock stations only this we're not trying to make a killing off of. thelegacy.shorturl.com
You typed your comment like a professional broadcast engineer. I am interested in sound reproduction, since I had my first high fidelity components in 1978. It is nice to read from an expert for a change.
The toast was beautiful, but kind of a dark way of singing off. I’m thinking they should’ve at least said "goodnight" before they left. It’s fine though.
This is because in the US, the demographics are changing. Smart professionals are not having enough children (too expensive for them), while the wrong demographics are having the children because they have nothing to lose. Norway and Sweden realized this a decade ago, and so they changed their laws and now give incentives for working professionals to have kids. We are no longer a progressive country, we are losing our intellect through poor social planning and monetary policy. In a couple of hundred years, we may be like the Middle East. This is almost a propaganda radio station. They have poor people in middle America donating to spend hundreds of millions to buy up radio stations. Seems to me, the people could use that money for themselves in their prime demographic. It’s these people who work for and vote for people who make them poorer over time. Nothing political here - both parties are bad in their own respects.
You can easily set up a legal AM radio station no license required under part 15 Section 219. We have done this in Deltaville Virginia and we've told our listeners about the Terk am Advantage Loop. With this Loop your part 15 station can be heard for 2.5 miles if there's not a lot of neon signs and fluorescent lights.
I'm not being disrespectful at all, I'm being friendly and nice when I ask this, but what does Race Taylor have to do with building a Part 15 AM Station? I have spoken Keith Hamilton from Rangemaster, builder of those Part 15 Transmitters. They are the best and and great reviews! I like to play with Part 15 AM, but I don't have the time. But back to Race, I had a contract with the ABC Radio Networks, then they sold to Citadel Radio Networks, then Citadel files bankruptcy and Cumulus with their Westwood Radio Networks buys them out. That's how I got to know Race and his family. My family holds a "Licensed FCC, Class D" Broadcast Licensed. We did a study, I can go to as much as 12,000 watts. But these days, it's not worth it. AM is on life support, according to Radio World and other trade magazines.
This song was an unusual choice to end a nice radio station. I love it so much that I want a copy for myself. Please type the name of this song that sings, "Why Pour the Lemon Juice," and its artist(s)' name or names to me. It is so great that I wish it would be extended, even by DJDiscoCat.
They ended the station with this song because it was the song that the station's call letters were based on when the station launched in 1971. This Version of White Port Lemon Juice was recorded by Hall & Oates, but it was also recorded by Frank Zappa & The Mothers of Invention, Lord Luther & The Four Deuces, & The Bel-Aires.
@@EllisFeaster Thank you very much. This song just became my favorite almost two nights ago. I have been playing it more times than any original recording on TH-cam. Thank you for rendering your invaluable time to type to me.
James Braun I think 4 stations flipped simultaneously, as WPLJ. in Washington DC, Atlanta, Savanna and Syracuse the formats were flipped to KLOVE radio.
EMF is not being punished. They don’t care about ratings. They have a different business model. Listeners from their 547 stations give money to support the station. Ratings don’t matter, donations do. This is why try do so well.
In greater Los Angeles, there was a much-beloved terrestrial radio station known as “The Sound” (KSWD 100.3) until it became ‘K-LOVE’ (KKLQ) in November 2017. The original K-LOVE (KLVE 107.5), a Spanish-language adult-contemporary station has used the nickname successfully since 1974 and the new ‘K-LOVE’ must identify itself differently every hour as “Positive Encouraging 100.3...The K-LOVE for Christian Music” since a deal was struck between Educational Media Foundation (EMF) (owner of KKLQ) and Univision Communications, owner of KLVE (The original K-LOVE) to offer two distinct radio services. th-cam.com/video/rL85DASedTo/w-d-xo.html KKLQ station ID starts at the :25 second mark.

This absence will be no fun and joy.

Long live. 0:55
Chris Corley was the station's voice announcer for its last few years. He passed away a little more than 2 months before the station signed off.
Thank you for your diligence and passion, Ellis Feaster!
You're welcome!

He's very good. I know he'll get picked up quickly.

i listened to wplj 95.5 fm and wqun 1220 am.
One last word was heard after the last WPLJ Legal ID. At 20:23 a voice is heard saying "Cheers". Then at 21:27, the K-Love signal starts.
“You heard the countdown, it’s over.” - Roger Grimsby, speaking over 66WNBC just after Alan Colmes’ last legal ID, right before the carrier was cut

Where's the in-studio video that Race mentioned? I've seen some cell phone video of the very end, but not much else.
Geez k-love is like the wicked witch of radio.Turning these unique radio stations into one bland corporate entity that puts listeners to sleep.
Agreed. But one bland entity for all the stations means you need fewer people, and therefore less money, to crank out a broadcast on more stations.
Kind of like....every other big media corporation.
Too bad it isn’t illegal. Fuck K-Love

So three stations flipped at the same time?
James Braun I think 4 stations flipped simultaneously, as WPLJ. in Washington DC, Atlanta, Savanna and Syracuse the formats were flipped to KLOVE radio.
6 flipped at the same time. NY, DC, Atlanta, Syracuse, Savannah, & San Jose.
@@EllisFeaster Do you have the other stations final shows?
James Braun Yes. I’ve posted WRQX & WYAY.
caa1000 sick!!!! Horrible.
WPLJ 95.5 Fm K-Love the Least listened to Radio Station in New York.. God is Punishing you EMF 🕉
EMF is not being punished. They don’t care about ratings. They have a different business model. Listeners from their 547 stations give money to support the station. Ratings don’t matter, donations do. This is why try do so well.
@@EllisFeasterso if folk stop giving them money they stop taking over radio stations? Why did the owner sell in the first place too?
Ellis, where done the K-Love Network broadcast from?
Sacramento, CA.
K-LOVE’s headquarters are in Rocklin, California (a suburb of Sacramento) in Placer County.
KLVR 91.9 Rocklin CA is the flagship. Some personalities do their airshifts from elsewhere but it’s all beamed back to Rocklin.
both wplj 95.5 fm and wqun 1220 am went off the air on may 31st in 2019.
we sadly had to say goodbye to wplj 95.5 fm.
Big Four Networks soon.
wplj 95.5 fm
