Show Hosts on Groove 66 Radio

What is New York's Best Rock? Well, from 1970-1983 it was an Album Oriented Rock radio station in New York City. Today, it's a radio show hosted by Matt Craig, with how he thinks the station would sound if it was still around today.

Listeners will hear familiar favorites along with deep cuts, long songs, one hit wonders and progressive music that radio station plays today. 

Matt got his start in radio while still in college at The New York Institute of Technology in Old Westbury, NY. While still in school, he got an internship, and later paid shifts at WGLI-AM 1290 in Babylon, NY where he stayed for 3 years. Shortly after graduation, Matt did some fill-in's at WNYG-AM 1400 also in Babylon, NY, where he was later offered the morning drive shift.

Fast forward to 2004, and Matt was given the opportunity to be the regular fill-in host on WEBE-FM 108 in Bridgeport, CT on their Saturday night disco show, Studio 108. He did that for over a year, and then was offered the show on a permanent basis. Unfortunately, due to time and distance, he had to turn it down.

Matt worked as a retail sales associate and manager until his retirement in 2021. His hobbies include HO Slot Cars, and his passion for radio airchecks is shown off at his website, www.bigappleairchecks.com which has been up since 2001. Matt lives on Long Island with his wife, daughter and 3 cats.
