ON THE AIR
If you're out on the East End of Long Island, and your radio is tuned to 92.1 FM, you might at some point hear a jingle whose thesis, supported by a jazzy melody, a punchy horn section, and an energetic group of singers in close harmony, is this: "LNG--is original. No station sounds like us--WLNG!" For nearly four decades ("Lots more ye-earssince 1963"), WLNG has been the station to turn to for a singular mixture of vintage popular music ("the oldies heard nowhere else"), enthusiastic disk jockeys ("Lucky, lucky you--here's Rusty Potz!"), live remotes ("LNG is on the air. Our mobile units are everywhere!"), storm coverage ("Operation Snowflake!"), and local news ("From Westhampton to Montauk Point, from Rocky Point to Orient, North Fork, South Fork--WLNG!"), all sounding as if transmitted through an echo chamber.
