Gordon Spencer's career at WNCN spanned some two decades and he has written about the VERY early days of WNCN, not too long after it signed on in 1956. The studios then were in the spire atop the Hotel Pierre on Fifth Avenue in as space shared with the transmitter. On a lower floor was the office and studio of WBAI which was a commercial station until it was donated to the Pacifica Foundation.
Gordon writes about his radio career, but the section on WNCN (and WQXR) starts about midway down the page, and is in a larger type font that the section on his Philadelphia days.
