Bruce Morrow WABC(AM770)
In 1961, Bruce relocated back to New York to work at the prominent station WABC (AM 770), which also broadcasted top 40 music. His return to New York City occurred about the same time as rock and roll music was experiencing an explosion of popularity among members of the baby boom generation. At the start of the so-called British Invasion, Bruce was able to secure a spot on the most influential radio station on the East Coast thanks to the aforementioned circumstance. The majority of his competition came from his old station, WINS, which featured a DJ by the name of “Murray the K” who claimed to have been associated with the Beatles.
The evening shift at WABC, which was geared toward teenagers and ran from 6:15 to 10:30 p.m. and featured Bruce playing a variety of music from the era, was an instant hit, and Bruce’s popularity skyrocketed (Motown soul, pop, hard rock, surf music, novelty records).
In addition to that, he was responsible for the presentation of commercials for youth-oriented sponsors such as Thom McAn, local clothing retailers in the New York and New Jersey areas, and events such as concerts and drag-strip races. It wasn’t until August 1974 that he made the move to WABC’s competitor, WNBC, after having spent 13 years and 4,014 broadcasts working for the company.
Bruce Morrow Cruisin’ America
In 1982, Bruce went back to work as a radio broadcaster, this time for an oldies station in New York City called WCBS-FM. In the beginning, he filled in for Jack Spector on the Saturday Night Sock Hop show every third Saturday evening. After Spector stepped down from his role as host of the event in 1985, Bruce took over as the primary performer and rebranded it as the Saturday Night Dance Party.
The station also began broadcasting his show Cruisin’ America, which is syndicated nationally. In 1986, Bruce began working the Wednesday evening shift, during which he conducted a countdown of the top 15 songs from the previous day and the current day. The Wednesday show was renamed “The Yearbook” in 1991, and it focuses primarily on music that was popular between the years 1955 and 1979. During the years 1992 to 1996, Cousin Brucie was also heard on Atlantic 252 in the role of “breakfast host.”
Following the conclusion of the radio program Cruisin’ America in December 1992, Bruce moved on to become the host of a radio program on WCBS called Cruising with the Cuz, which aired on Monday evenings from then until the end of 1993. Later on, the program was canceled, and he went on to broadcast the Saturday night and Wednesday night programs at that location until June 3, 2005, when the station switched to playing adult hits under the name Jack FM. Soon after that, Bruce entered into an agreement with Sirius Satellite Radio to host an oldies program as well as a weekly conversation show for a period of multiple years.
