NEW YORK, June 6 (UPI) -- Radio Hall of Famer Bruce "Cousin Brucie" Morrow says he was surprised when his New York City radio station gave him the boot.
Oldies station WCBS-FM flipped to a wider format playing music from the past four decades without deejays and fired the entire air staff, including the venerable rock jock.
"It's like waking up in the morning and all of a sudden Yankee Stadium became a fruit stand and George Washington Bridge is a raft. You can't do that," said Morrow, 67, who introduced the Beatles at Shea Stadium in 1965.
Morrow told the New York Daily News he would hide out a few days "just to clear my head" and "have an announcement very soon."
Morrow has been a New York staple since his days at WABC in the early '60s. He moved to WCBS in 1982.
