When I lived in New York some years ago we often listened to John B. Gambling's radio show on WOR-AM 710 which he started in 1925 - he called it "Rambling With Gambling". Upon his retirement he passed the baton to son John A. and recently to third generation John R. WOR way back was called the Bamberger Broadcasting Co. and I think they were then located in New Jersey. Now, after eighty-eight years, they will ramble no more - with the last show December 20th. There was always a civil discussion and they regularly interviewed the mayor. The announcement said they were retiring the morning show voluntarily
but WOR also announced their preparation for the arrival of Rush Limbaugh for an afternoon time slot. Personally, if I were still living in New York I would prefer a ramble with Gambling to a gambol in the rushes. (IMHO)

(Note - WOR was founded by The Bamberger Broadcasting Service in 1922 headquartered in Newark NJ the purpose was to sell more radios.)
