NOTE: Towards the end of their run as a top 40 station, WABC surveys
routinely omitted several numbers from their weekly hit countdowns. These
numbers represented songs that were charting on the hit parade nationally
(or regionally) but were not being played by WABC. At this time, WABC
played few if any "rock" songs, as they moved towards a more adult
contemporary feel.
On Monday, May 10, 1982, at 12 noon, WABC officially ended its twenty-two
year run as a Top 40 station, adopting a talk format.
