Here is a short promotional doc for WNEW, which, at one point, was the cutting edge of New York rock radio back in the late 60s/early 70s before settling into the premier classic rock station of the Northeast. Now 102.7 FM is the home of some of the lamest soccer mom music on the planet, but we at Metro Recycling will never forget what used to be on that frequency all those years ago and continues to live on today at www.wnew.com, which all of you are strongly encouraged to check out.

BEATLES IN NYC 1964
In August of 1964, the Beatles played at the Forest Hills stadium in New York and stayed at the fancy Delmonico Hotel on Park Avenue.
When they arrived at the hotel, Ringo was mobbed in the lobby and not only had his shirt torn off, but also his beloved St. Christopher's medal.
In this video, Beatle fan Angie McGowan returns the medal to Ringo and all's back to "normal" with the Fab Four. Cousin Brucie and Scott Muni from WABC Radio do a live broadcast of this and you can hear the screams from the fans outside the building! Paul McCartney pays a surprise visit.
