   I, too, grew up in New York (born in '68), and was 15 

when 

Z100 signed on in the summer of 1983.

The mid-'80s were great for radio in New York City.  In 

addition to Z100, WPLJ flipped to top 40 around the same 

time in 1983 (and still played their records 2% too 

fast), 

WAPP signed on with their commercial-free summer in 1982, 

and WKTU briefly attempted top 40 in 1984.  It was a 

pretty 

glorious time to be a teenager.

A few years later, WKTU would flip to K-Rock and WAPP 

would 

flip to Hot 103.5.
