The end of an era! Just heard @955PLJ will be signing off on 5/31. Been #1 preset on my radio for as long as I can remember. Thanks to all the personalities that entertained us for the last 48 years especially @toddandjayde crew, @ScottShannonDJ, @RaceTaylor & countless others. pic.twitter.com/exNf4x3fzb — Andrew Lowry (@Andrew_J_Lowry) May 8, 2019

Wow...

It's an honor to say I was part of this iconic NYC radio station. I made my NYC on-air debut at @955PLJ.
