    Jimmy Fink has been working in broadcasting for more than four decades….hosting shows on several major market radio stations, television networks, and production & advertising companies in the New York and Washington, DC metropolitan areas.

    Over the years Jimmy has worked for ABC, CBS, and NBC, Rolling Stone Magazine, HBO, Cinemax, and syndicators like United Stations Radio Network, DIR Broadcasting and The Global Satellite Network. In the 80s & 90s, he spent 10 years at New York’s K-Rock (WXRK-FM), and wrote and produced several internationally syndicated radio programs including Rolling Stone Magazine’s “Continuous History of Rock & Roll,” “RockWatch,” and “New Waves” for NPR.

    Jimmy’s a lifelong resident of Westchester County, New York, and dedicates a lot of energy to two specific charities: The Pediatric Cancer Foundation and Open Door Family Medical Centers, where he’s a past member of their Foundation Board.

    Jimmy joined 107.1 The Peak/New York (WXPK-FM) near its inception in June of 2004. After seeing a bus poster for a new radio station and listening for a half hour, he knew he had to work there. He calls 107.1 The Peak the most creative station with the broadest format any radio lover could want to work for.

    Part four of four, our Season Finale; Jimmy taking us into the studio during New York’s 95.5 WPLJ-FM reunion radio show from May 2019. He also reveals some funny moments during interviews with Elton John, Frank Zappa, ZZ Top, and how the late Rush drummer Neil felt about being famous. Jimmy talks about his current radio show on 107.1 The Peak (WXPK-FM) in Westchester NY, and one of his most remarkable moments of his career. It happened at New York’s 92.3 K-ROCK (WXRK-FM) with Howard Stern.

The story of 95.5 WABC-FM changing to WPLJ and how those call-letters came about.
