Alumni

The list of people who have broadcast on WNBC is a who's who of radio.  Complied for your surfing is a collection of links to the alumni I have been able to locate with web pages. If you know of any I do not have, please use the link at the bottom of the page to let me know.

Most frequently asked question:  Why don't you have XXX or YYY on this page, he/she was my favorite.  If they are not here, it's only because I don't have any place to link to them.  Send me a note and a link, and I'll get them added.

button1.gif (1267 bytes)Mazer, Bill
Sports / Talk Show Host.  From Tim Faracy:"Bill Mazer was on WNBC from about 1964 to 1970 before he went to WNEW-TV. At WNBC he had perhaps the first phone in sports talk show on New York radio. When the station modified its format in January '68 to make it all talk without any music on its local shows the Mazer show went from only sports talk to any topic of interest a caller might offer. This is the way Bill does his current program and he gets heavily into politics and current events and still adds sports to the mix. He was on WNBC Monday to Saturday from 5 PM to 7PM with an extra half hour on Saturday until the start of the NBC network show Monitor. Sometimes Bill would close his own show on Saturday at 7:30 PM and come back at 7:35 PM as a fill in host on Monitor until 10:30 PM."
