COMMENTS ON Chuck Leonard
Are we talking about UNCLE CHUCKY here?? WABC was an amazing AM station in the sixties and seventies. Heard from Virginia to New Hampshire on a clear day, Chuck Leonard's voice carried a long way. He pushed his station to play DISCO, and compete with the FM stations. They didn't really listen, and the glory days of a super AM station fell by the curb. God Bless Chuck Leonard.
