Y-100 Miami First Day, Roby Yonge, John Emm, Bill Steadman August 3 1973

Thanks to The Eric Rhoads Collection for this historic recording of the first minutes of Y100 in Miami. When you consider that this "brand" of radio continues to be a major player thirty-five years later, it's impressive. Happy 35th birthday to Y-100, born 35 years ago, this week!

"... Todd (Storz) and some others were sitting around figuring out what they could do on their station and they noticed that WDSU had a program called the Top 20. And they thought if the Top 20 was successful, that the Top 40 would be even better - and that's what they said - We're going to be twice as good as WDSU 'cause we're gonna play - The Top 40."
