WALK (1370 AM) is a radio station licensed to Patchogue, New York. The station, initially owned by the Suffolk Broadcasting Corporation, went on the air on Sunday April 20, 1952 from the infamous 'fish-bowl' studios on Colonial Drive in East Patchogue.^[1] The station's studios would remain there for more than 62 years until they were sold to current owner Connoisseur Media. For years WALK played nothing but classical, big-band, and jazz. It was purchased in 1963 by the Island Broadcasting System along with its sister stations, WALK-FM Patchogue & WRIV Riverhead. Island Broadcasting was owned in part by NBC News anchorman Chet Huntley. ^[2] WALK was one of the first stations on Long Island to run a full schedule of Christmas music during the holiday season. The Holiday format began in 1995. In later years it was run on both WALK AM & FM. It continues to run on WALK-FM annually from around Thanksgiving through Christmas. The station currently broadcasts an adult standards format, simulcasting WHLI 1100 AM Hempstead, New York.^[3]
