Mike and I are both alumni of City College of New York. I believe Mike got his start in radio at the college station. His first job in commercial radio was at WLNA in Peekskill, NY. His experiences in radio are detailed in his LinkedIn account.
Mike is best known for his time at WYNY when it was an Adult Contemporary Station at 97.1 FM and later at WCBS-FM when it was the world's greatest oldies station. He did a terrific job with the Top 20 Oldies Countdown. In recent years he was a sports anchor for WFAN, WCBS, WINS, and CBS Sports Radio.
Mike is also an expert photographer and maintains a blog called Mike McCann's Field of Photos. It is obvious that he is a big baseball fan.
I certainly hope that Mike enjoys his retirement.
Above is an aircheck of Mike from September 21, 1983, that Mike gave to radio enthusiast Ellis Feaster who posted it on YouTube.
