[BC] Country music in the Big Apple?

[Douglas B. Pritchett]

During my time out east, I spent alot of time listening to the classic 
WHN. They playe the right tunes, had great on-air staff and 
presentation. They had numbers, but the revenue just wasn't there.  It's 
a shame.

Didn't Herb Squire turn the knobs there??
