WNBC New York Dan Taylor "Time Machine" 1987 California Aircheck Video 

The brilliance of this art.

What a great video! I always loved Dan Taylor's show....he had a great voice and personality...so cool to finally see him 'in the flesh.' He was so young! How I miss those great old AM stations, coming over the airwaves late in the night. Hope that Dan Taylor is doing well...wherever he is today!

This is when Radio was Radio and not just an Ipod. It was shows like this that got me into a lifetime career as a DJ & radio presenter. Great Stuff !

I love his voice!!!!!!!

In June of '87 I left my hometown area and six years of radio employment there for the Catskills and WVOS Liberty, NY. I recall hearing the Time Machine then and it was more than likely Dan Taylor behind the mic. Hadn't yet fully realized this show was homage to the departed WABC format right down to the "Musicpower" tag line. In the 90s I occasioned to aircheck Dan doing a country oldies show on WYNY. In any case, a peerless professional of the kind I attempted to emulate in my own performance on-air.

Look at ALL those CARTS behind him !!!

Wow, what a jingle-heavy show...quite the contrast from stations that play maybe 2 or 3 an hour.

Dan Taylor in The Time Machine counting down the hits.

Great blast from the past and Dan Taylor on the BIG 66.

This must've been made right after WHN closed up shop. I can never get enough of the reverb, echo chamber, or whatever one calls it. I used to call Dan Taylor when he was at WHN.

I hear Dale Parsons doing that promo. He went to WNBC from Norfolk Va where he was a talent extraordinaire! This is when radio was entertaining! Its nothing but crap today!

Dan Taylor was on WCBS-FM for a few years-Unfortunately,he's no longer there.

Awesomely incredible ... "soups on"... :) love this zippy style... always will...

by the look of all those Carts the production person must have been kept busy.

I enjoyed the time machine used to tune it in ever weekend

They reverbed the whole signal. I makes the station sound fuller and bigger when coming out of a traditional 31/2" transistor radio speaker.

Great video...I worked at WNBC but went to TV right before the Pams Jingle thing...but that was a great sound. Just like WABC in the good old days. "Day late...Dollar shy." NBC Radio was always like that...a little behind the curve.

Hard to believe the Big 66 is no more.

Dude is TIGHT!

Hey kids… this is how it’s done

Excellent...!!!!

USA radio jocks are the best in the world.

What a travesty to discontinue Mr. Taylor's morning show. Nuff said.... so sad.:(

Whenever I hear Time Machine 'checks, I always forget that WNBC had gone combo (where the jocks ran the boards) and picture the jock playing traffic cop getting all those jingles & songs fired at the right time.

Mornings on WCBS-FM. He's doing/sounding great!

"The Best Show in New London"! I did a stint there myself!

Yes. This was very good indeed 1:50

What's the song being played in the first seconds of the video?

Why the reverb on the mic? Make the DJ sound 'bigger'?

DT top act

I did not listen to Dan Taylor but my father did, I kinda just decided to watch this and I must say he is a great DJ with a great voice. This is the kind of radio that doesn't exist anymore.. it died in the late 90s early 2000s. Now everything is just so corporate and blah

Echoes on mics sound like shit
