Ed Brown created the WNEW1130.com blog on April 27, 2009.

Since January 24, 2024, it has been my great honor to keep it running for him, as Editor, after his death in late 2023.

Ed’s first WNEW1130.com post that April day read,

There’s Only One . . . WNEW

There was a time when most radio stations, no matter how big, were local and part of neighborhood life.  WNEW-AM, where the forms of modern radio were invented and made personal, existed within a community of broadcasters and listeners who shared in life’s events and now, share memories. This blog, exists to collect as many as possible of the bits and pieces of that history. What do you remember? What part of the story can you tell?

Not having Mr. Brown’s wealth of historical and WNEW knowledge, I do plan to draw from his earlier posts, his memories, and even from  commentary archives from the 7PM radio time slot.  These are gems of history, excellence in writing, and many-just plain enjoyable to read.

So, I ask as Ed did, “What do you remember? What part of the story can you tell?”

I am excited to receive your contributions.

We’ve / I’ve got quite a few friends.

A huge thank you to Bill P, Jean, Edw M, Karen, Jeff, Al, Alan, Andy, Bill D, Bob, and Mike, for the many different ways in which you support me, and this site.

Thank you so very much for helping to keep WNEW1130.com alive and well.
