101.9

When I was about 6 or 7 years old, my grandfather gave my sister and I transistor radios. Ran off one 9 volt battery. Fast forward 26 years (grandpa has long since passed) Hurricane Sandy comes along and knocks out the power. Wife, myself and our dog were without power for over 2 weeks. Wife and I would come home from work, light the fireplace and I'd break out that same transistor radio and listen to 1010 WINS and then change over to WFAN for Steve Somers (the schmooze) at 7 pm and just chill on the couch with our dog curled up with us. The sound of the static on that AM transistor radio was very soothing. I still have and use that radio when I go camping.

"You give us 22 minutes and we'll give you the world."

With traffic and weather on the 1's.

I listen to WFAN, WINS and sports games on the radio. And even though those stations are also broadcasted on FM I just gotta have that AM static. I can't explain it. To me it just "sounds" better on the AM radio. Maybe it's the nostalgia of my dad driving.
