Online outlet HitOldies.net is doing a weekend long tribute to my all-time favorite station, WNBC New York, and what was probably its greatest feature - The Time Machine. 

If you're not familiar with it, in the middle 80s, then-program boss Dale Parsons decided to devote the 12 AM- 6 AM hour to recreating the format of MusicRadio WABC, including the classic hits, those incredible PAMS jingles, contests and even the original massive reverb chamber that was installed at the transmitter. Soon it expanded to weekends and became one of the most talked about ideas in radio. 

Led on air by Big Jay Sorenson overnights, it attracted a lot of attention and with the Great 66's massive signal, it was an eastern seaboard sensation. I was often surprised that many people who weren't DXers discovered it and would listen to it regularly. 

Anyway, this online station has decided to pay tribute to WNBC and The Time Machine, for this weekend only. The programming started at 9 AM Friday, replaying a two hour-long history of the station, followed by all the elements of the great oldies experiment. 

If you remember it or are curious about how they pull it off, you can listen to it here or here.
