[edit] Thanks for the pre 1971 Information

Good addition to the article both showing that the station played Broadway Tunes and Classical Music pre 1971and why it changed to the progressive rock format that year. Also this article gives a reasonable history of the station during it's progressive rock era. This is important because many people only know the station from the 1980's and beyond 02:50, 23 June 2006 (EK)

[edit] Took out Sirius 1st Wave mention

The line was basically a commercial for that station. "Adoringly" is plain POV. WLIR although important was not the sole outlet for that music. Kept mention of Larry the Duck working at that station and added that the format is similar to WLIR Dare to be Different era.

[edit] "Screamer" Sound?

Does anyone know what (or where) that Screamer of the Week scream came from? This would be WLIR (1982-1987). Not the "Shreik". Also, has anyone a link to the actual sound itself (wav, mp3, etc)? This would be great as memoriabilia. MediaPlex 02:16, 18 September 2007 (UTC)
