The shift happened in 1982, when WABC abandoned its legendary Top 40 music format to become a full-time talk radio station. Did you catch that it was a landmark moment in radio history?

That happened in 1982, when the suits at ABC finally pulled the plug on the Top 40 format after a long, slow decline. It was a huge shift for New York radio, swapping out the hits for a lineup of talk hosts that eventually became the gold standard for the format.
