"In 1973, conventional industry wisdom was that a country music radio station could not be successful in the New York market. WHN ignored that wisdom and announced that it was switching from middle-of-the-road format to country, billing itself as 'Easy lovin' country.' The actual changeover took place at 5:45 am on February 26th when Jack Spector, calling himsilf 'The Kosher Cowboy from Coney Island, ' introduced the George Jones classic 'The race is on.' And the rest is history"--Page 4 of cover.
