Senator Schumer wants to program your radio station.Here's a press release:
Last week WCBS-FM, the home of Cousin Brucie’s (Bruce Morrow’s) radio show for over 20 years, announced they would be switching formats, from oldies to a new format called Jack that doesn’t use deejays. Today, U.S. Senator Charles E. Schumer called on New York radio broadcasters to put Cousin Brucie back on the air and called on New Yorkers to help with the effort by casting a vote on his website at www.schumer.senate.gov
“Cousin Brucie is a New York institution. We grew up with him, and tens of thousands of New Yorkers turn on the radio on Wednesday and Saturday evenings to hear his shows,” Schumer said. “Cousin Brucie is one of the few voices who has stayed with us for decades and losing him puts a hole in the heart of thousands of New Yorkers. There is no one who is more New York than Bruce Morrow.”
Does everyone get the special help from the good Senator?
Schumer and Brucie are both Brooklyn natives who attended Madison High School in Brooklyn and though Morrow graduated before Schumer, he was revered by Schumer and his friends who listened to him on countless evenings while they played basketball in Brooklyn and the Rockaways.
Chuck Schumer:fighter for the little guy.
