Five-minute snippets of Yonge, each spotlighting a fact in rock history, aired on other ABC radio stations as well, such as WLS (AM), on weekday evenings during early 1969.
Stating that his contract was up in two weeks and would not be renewed, and that at 12:39 am, he would not be "cut" because there was nobody around, Yonge began to speculate on rumors circulating about the possible death of McCartney.
A 90-minute JPR interview with Roby Yonge, where he talks in detail about the "Paul is dead" rumor as well as the circumstances leading to his being hired at WABC, can be heard at this website.
[1] Sklar's reach did not cross radio bands, as, less than three weeks later, on November 14, 1969, former WABC DJ Bob "Bob-a-loo" Lewis did a full production "Paul is Dead" show on WABC-FM, putting forth many of the same assertions about McCartney's supposed death that had resulted in Yonge being yanked off the air.
After a few years, he returned to Florida, where he served as general manager of Mother WMUM, an early FM rock station in Palm Beach.
