Great historical advertisement (you, over there, stop laughing at the word Wang, yes you), great station ident, and fantastic sound quality! I bet most of you didn't know AM / MediumWave could sound this good!

A radio commercial for a computer store in Hauppauge, NY advertising the Wang Advanced PC, broadcast on 660 WNBC in New York City on August 18th, 1986, featuring DJ Jim Collins as the announcer. The Wang Advanced PC had a faster processor, more RAM, and better keyboard than IBM's PCs, but struggled due to its lack of full IBM compatibility.
