Meet George Godfrey, a man who arrives at the Brewster train station every day in time to catch the 4:30 trip to Grand Central. But Godfrey doesn’t get on board; he stays on the platform, greeting passengers.

The station’s move to all news was actually part of the headlines that first day because a plane crashed into the radio station's broadcast tower, forcing the news from the AM signal to FM for the first few weeks.

William S. Paley decided to turn WCBS to an all news station and was deeply invested in his decision. So much so, he would call the newsroom often to speak with managers and editors. Charles Osgood was a part of the newsroom in 1967 and he shares some of these stories.

Where did the idea to call WCBS "Newsradio" come from? Wayne Cabot speaks with the man who came up with the phrase, Frank Sterbenz, a former WCBS research director.

WCBS was not the first all news station in New York City. Westinghouse flipped WINS in 1965. In November of that year, when New York was plunged into darkness in the Great Northeast Blackout of '65, William S. Paley decided that CBS needed its own all news outlet in New York City.

Wayne Cabot looks back to August 28, 1967 -- the first day Newsradio 880 went on air. He recounts the story of how WCBS-AM actually debuted on WCBS-FM because a light plane crashed into the radio station's broadcast tower in the Bronx the night before.
