Switched to WHN along with new Shea Stadium in '64 for whole new surroundings in the now changed Beatles,LBJ era...in clean synch with flow of times. Took longer for losing ways to change though...but they were right on Tao for that too in '69!<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('112645','Tony Baby'); return false;">Reply</a> - <a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('112645','Tony Baby','Mets were on WABC, along with Coz Brucie during doo wop, JFK, Polo Grounds years.

They were on WHN for awhile as well as WNEW. I remember WWDJ as well...Bob Brown was the pre-game host. He did a good job. It was a New Jersey station and didn't seem to have the strongest signal. Not sure why the Mets didn't have a New York station!<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('3817','Bobster'); return false;">Reply</a> - <a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('3817','Bobster','The Mets moved around the dial.

I doubt I ever really listened to a game before I was 9 or so, which would have been the 1973 season. And, I would only have listened if the game wasn't on t.v. or I was in the car and convinced my father to put it on (he was not a baseball fan). Still, after we moved upstate I remember often tuning into a fading, crackling AM signal from New York and I'd have sworn I was listening to WHN. Maybe it was WNEW. Both were 50,000 Watt stations and could reach that far up (only not clearly).<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('3749','Eagle'); return false;">Reply</a> - <a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('3749','Eagle','Yeah, I half knew they were on WABC, but that was before my time (earliest memories are from 1970).\r\n\r\nI doubt I ever really listened to a game before I was 9 or so, which would have been the 1973 season.
