740 WGSM/94.3 WCTO Stereo
The Studios
Some of these pictures are not very good but they're all I had. My thanks go to Robert
Cohen for sending me some decent pictures.
The good ones are his.
The studios were in this building at 900 Walt Whitman Road (Route 110) in Huntington.
They later became the studios of B-103 (WBZO) and WMJC (formerly WCTO). WGSM took to simulcasting
WHLI, Hempstead after becoming Disney Radio for a short while.

This conference room later became the newsroom after the split up of the Long Island
Network (WGBB and WGSM/WCTO). Seen in the bottom picture (left to right) are Bruce Herbert, Ray
Adell and station manager Dick Scholem.
