Young Male with scary long hair receiving an equally scary haircut.
Not only is this haircut just as scary as Buzzcut, High & Tight, Reconnaissance, Flattop, Crewcut, Brush Cut, and Undercut haircuts; males shaving their heads with a razor and shaving cream, and males who also have long hair and wear their hair into one of those so-called “Man Buns”; but this haircut is also as scary as Homicide Detectives of the Tulsa, Oklahoma Police Department by the names of Matthew Frazier and Chase Calhoun-as seen on the A&E Reality Television Show “The First 48”.

Likewise to how this young lad in Great Britain that the BBC’s News Department had interviewed lives in the late 1940’s, I live in the 1970’s, 1980’s; and the early 1990’s.

It's Better Than Working For A Living!
WPLJ DJ Jimmy Fink’s License PlateThe Sale of WPLJ
On February 13th of this year, Cumulus Media announced that it was selling a number of radio stations to the Educational Media Foundation for $103.5 Million. Included in the deal was WPLJ Radio in New York City.
While it’s true that once I became a NABET Group 7 in 1983, my job at ABC had almost entirely to do with WABC, I was originally hired as a member of the WABC/WPLJ Engineering Department in 1976, and was member of that department for as long as it existed. In fact, for the first 6 years of my life at ABC, my on-the-air assignments included as much time at WPLJ as it did at WABC.
The station that was WPLJ when I got there, went on the air on May 4, 1948 with the call letters WJZ-FM. In March 1953…

When I started working at ABC in 1976, the headquarters of the three main broadcast networks were within 4 blocks of each other, on the same side of the Avenue of the Americas in Manhattan. “Radio Row” started with the NBC Headquarters at 30 Rock, next up was Black Rock, the CBS Headquarters between 52nd and 53rd Street, followed by the ABC Building, just across 53rd Street from CBS, at 1330 Avenue of the Americas. This was frankly heady times in the broadcasting business, when having a broadcast license was almost akin to printing your own money, and cash flowed like water. All three networks acted like the well would never run dry, and spent accordingly.
Now 30 Rock had been NBC’s base of operations for years, and contained many TV and
1330 Ave of the Americas…the REAL ABC Building radio studios, but when CBS and ABC joined the old…

Radio Stories – Moving Two Radio Stations
The ABC Cube looking south in front of 1330 Ave of the Americas In mid March of 1985, it was announced that Capital Cities Communications had officially launched a bid to buy the American Broadcasting Company. Capital Cities who?? That was the general reaction to this news on the 8th floor of the ABC Building where 8 of us promptly went out to lunch, at which we consumed 8 carafes of wine! This unthinkable event had hit us very hard, and little did we know it would affect us all even more down the road!
On January 3, 1986, the American Broadcasting Company officially became ABC/Capital Cities, and shortly after that, the plans to move the ABC Headquarters to West 66th Street and to sell the long time ABC Headquarters building became public knowledge. Located across 53rd Street from CBS Headquarters and just…View original post 3,094 more words
