1976 Includes many Syndicated Shows
(I.E. Boston) which may be duplicates of WOR broadcasts and usually broadcast a week later.

About the Database

This is a database of all the known (to me) shows that have surfaced over the years from various sources. 

Show descriptions, commercials, music and notes may not be present for all the shows listed. This is an on-going project and is updated as information becomes available. In some cases full dates could not be determined so the partial dates reflect only the known portion.

Also, some dates may not reflect the true WOR broadcast date since the person taping the show would indicate the date it was aired on the radio station he was hearing it on.. Many shows were re-run in syndication such as in Boston with a week delay for the weekday shows. The Saturday shows appear to have been played on Sundays - 8 days later.  Other areas had delays of several weeks. In some cases it could be determined if the date was original airdate or syndication airdate. In those cases the dates were adjusted and a note made to the effect in the notes section of the summary.

There is also the possibility that the person doing the taping may have misdated the show.

In all cases, as shows are listened to, close attention is paid for clues which may help verify the dates, repeats of earlier shows, and recurring topics
