Every morning when I drive into work I tune my radio into WLNG-FM off Long Island. Without a doubt this is the BEST radio station I've ever heard before. The station with 10,000 golden oldies never ceases to amaze me with the breadth and depth of their playlists and today was no exception. Nowhere else in the country can you hear a set like this:
Stop in the Name of Love by The Supremes
Who Put the Bomp (In the Bomp Shoo Bomp Shoo Bomp) by Barry Mann
Raspberry Beret by Prince
and Bee Bop Baby by Webb Foley (a song, I might add, I've not heard in probably the past decade)
Overnights are called the Golden Hours, and I believe it's true... non-stop music sets, very few commercials, and a DJ who actually cares about the music he plays. WLNG's a hidden gem in American radio and it's something I believe should be repeated in other markets. The station is so good I'll often find myself listening to its static when it isn't completely tuned in just to hear bits of songs I haven't heard in a long time. If you'd like to find out what I'm talking about, head on over to www.wlng.com and check out their online stream. I promise you you won't be disappointed.
