Listen to NewsRadio 88 Steve Scott and Michael Wallace Sign Off Their Show as The Station Begins Shutting Down

Share

This is really sad and horrifying.

This afternoon NewsRadio 88 star broadcasters became the first of the staff to sign off their show.

Scott chose to leave on Friday as he had a vacation week coming anyway. The station will sign off on August 26th after 57 years of providing the New York area with news 24 hours a day.

What a catastrophic decision has been made by Audacy, the company that has brought the station to its knees.

Scott and Wallace’s farewell is below. There will be more of these over the next ten days.
