He's now back on WABC-AM, New York City--where he worked from 1961 to 1974--at 6 P.M. Saturdays, playing music--it's been a talk station for nearly 40 years now, but he's been given a special slot.
As an old, one time DJ, I love the NAB Cart Machines and great jingles. Cousin Brucie was the best! Loved listening to him on WABC. Reverend Peter Rafuse, Nova Scotia Canada.
He's back home at WABC on Saturdays 6 - 10 pm. Just had his 1 year anniversary in Sept. You can listen on line or radio if you can pick it up in Canada or Alexa.
I have cousin 60s on 60s pre-set...Takes me back when all of us was home with mom& dad & all my broether& sister..was alive..GOID FEELING MUSIC...LOVE COUSIN BRUCE
Cousin Brucie and Rick Shaw (South Florida) were two of the best. I wish Rick Shaw could have come to 60s Gold on Sirius XM. I wish Cousin Brucie was still there.
I find the Jam jingles fascinating. I grew up listening to WLS and Q101 in Chicago, IL, two local radio stations that had jingles recorded by Jam. I run a voicemail system, and I do a "radio show" out of one of my voicemail boxes called Philmore Radio, and I am going to get a Personal Cut done by Jam for that phone show.
Brucie was absolutely running his own board at this time. I shot this video at WCBS-FM and was there for the entire show, and he ran the entire thing. You are correct that during his WABC days in the '60s and '70s there was always a NABET engineer running the board. But things were quite different in the 90s.
Yep, FIRST thing that blew me away was seeing him run his own board. thought WCBS-FM was Union, then again, MAYBE for this presentation he used the board. I thought for sure CBS was Union.
JAMcreative He always says "Jam is my #1 choice for jingles" Guess what, you people of Jam Creative Productions are also my #1 choice for jingles on every radio stations everywhere, no doubt about that!!!
Now that he’s back on WABC, he has a guy in the control room again. I believe when he was with Sirius, he had the slide board, tapes/cds and such. I believe Tony Orlando (who is on after him) uses your jingles! He plays 70s/80s era music, so it would make sense.
@@NickG123 Nick remember Harry Harrison and Ron Lundy? A lot of the old shows can be found on TH-cam. I remember one commercial in particular. It was " coke now in cans".
Ahh, the 80s and 90s, the heyday of oldies radio stations...nowadays most of them are rebranding as "classic hits" and dropping most rock music from before the British Invasion, or even before the 70s. And many are changing formats altogether, like my local oldies/classic hits station did two years ago. I was born in 1993, the year after this was filmed, so I got to grow up with this music on the radio until my adolescence, then with the "new" oldies format until the aforementioned station switch in my region. See? Politics wasn't the only thing that was better in the 90s.
It just hit me that 1967 was 25 years before 1992, so I guess I should not be complaining about the 90s music they are playing now. Still is upsetting though.
YES...there are some of us who DO need NEW JINGLES....but because we do not have the LARGE budget that WCBS has, we have audio editing software. We get the big time sound with the small time budget.
I was born about a year after this was filmed, so this was the world I came into. How I wish sometimes that I could go back to the pre-9/11 era and just freeze time there.
@Martin Moore 2468 It is my #1 choice for jingles too. How current they'll sound by today's standards?? Only time tells, don't you think? I love them so much!
I am sorry but it was the PAMS on WABC that took me...Dan Ingram would not play them all, but one time he got short on material so he played the whole series...funny!
@@pinkyman5155 and Martin Moore lots of oldies stations used JAMS jingles were used on oldies stations in the 90's and 2000's. Oldies 103.3 was the first station I heard with Jam Jingles back in the late 90's, especially the weather jingle that always went "Boston Weather." They stopped using Jam in the early 2000's but then started using their jingles again right after Christmas in 2007. Rhode Island's oldies station B101 also used Jam Jingles in the late 90's though their weather jingle went "B 101 Weather"
@@billdeco08 In the UK a lot of jingles around 70s-80s were produced by Jumbo and EAP out of Clacton Essex using Bill Mitchell voice-overs. Mostly produced by Ray Anderson.
By the way, next to that 1991 Oldies station of the year award at 1.03, that device is the CBS Radio Net Alert machine. As a CBS affiliate (owned), that device alert CBS stations to things ranging from closed circuit broadcasts to bulletins to...heaven forbid...national emergencies. A number would display on the readout and just below is a pull-out card with what the number means. I think this has been discontinued given the technology today.
Remember Hudson and Landry? Landry wrote hit tv shows and a video on front of a live audience called Howard Worm starring Joey reynolds as Howard Stern produced by Lew Bidell in Hollywood at the studio of Mike Dorough, the inventor of the academy award winning Dorrough meter, Lots of tonnage here And very funny LA before Larry Enthusiasm.
I remember "the best music" jingle on 840 WHAS. They also used a "the best sports" one as well. This had to be around the time this video was shot. Wasn't too many AM music stations by then.
You know, Brucie is back on 77 WABC! Saturday nights. You get the music, 50s-60s jingles, letters, phone calls, and his voice! It’s a great show! Tune in on the radio, or if you live too far the get the “radio experience” you can listen on your voice assistant or on WABC’s website.
Still using cart machines ? They have been "outlawed" down here in broadcasting New Zealand. Great machines. Yes I totally agree about the fun needs to go back into radio. I'm currently producing a new radio show with a view to bringing a bunch of 60s 70s elements back into the mix.Airing later January all going to plan. Have a Facebook project called GOLDEN DAYS OF New ZEALAND BROADCASTING.
I did a 5-year stint in radio, onetime. Computers with AudioVault or similar software eventually took over and removed much of the technical skill required in running a board.
yes realised after i had posted. Was trying to write the post while serving clients in my store. The same guy kept coming back and then I noticed. Good video though.
That was back in the day, before the CBS-FM staff was banned from ever using the word "Oldies" on the air or in their slogans, even though their format is "oldies". Nowadays, a station that mainly plays music from the mid-60's to the 80's is technically considered to have an oldies format. However, the word "oldies" tends to turn away the more middle-aged listeners who mainly associate the word "oldies" with doo-wop music and the 50's & 60's music that their parents grew up with.
Awwww c'mon...... Brucie running his own board???? Amusing yes, but you never saw anyone from a network O&O running their own board. This is sacred NABET territory.Maybe Brucie ran a board on the stations he owned in NJ, but never CBS!
It’s a shame that disc jockeys are becoming extinct. They are being replaced by computerized automation. AM and FM radio is going downhill because of it. The radio stations don’t want to pay the DJs salary and switched to automation
Yeah, they look like Koss. One station I was at had two pair of them, and two of a cheaper type. Sometimes had to scrounge around the news or production studios to find an unclaimed Koss set.
Nothing can com close to the joy of our favorite DJ playing our favorite songs
I miss those days brings me back to my childhood my dad always listened to cbs 101.1

I grew up listening to Cousin Brucie during the 60's. It was magical.
Being Born in 1971 I grew up on Cousin Brucie and Wolfman Jack and CBS FM, its just not the same without him being on the air
He’s back!
Love that jingle!! And Cousin Brucie can't be beat!

The cousin is still going strong at 85!
Cousin Brucie got me my first job in the radio biz!!!!
What year Jeff and which station just curious. Where you from?
cousin brucie is large part of the reason I like Sirius.
Wow this is just amazing and such a beautiful, innocent time as well as a much simpler time when people we’re people!
Here in 2022. That last jingle is fire
Cousin Brucie and Rick Shaw (South Florida) were two of the best. I wish Rick Shaw could have come to 60s Gold on Sirius XM. I wish Cousin Brucie was still there.
CBS-FM...one of the greatest of all time.
man i always wanted to see the inside of my favorite radio station
I remember cousin Brucie growing up. The Best of the Best!
Cousin Brucie is horrible! He talks way too much. Less talk and MORE music.If you want to talk, then go on a talk radio show and don't play music.
Cousin Bruce having a good ole time with those jingles and me too as well keep having fun.
