Construction Site by Ib Glindemann (The Original 1010 WINS Sounder)

This is the original sounder of 1010 WINS.

1010 WINS chose this sounder from a production music library because of its "Streets of New York" sound (as per Adam C. Powell III (the son of the congressman), who discussed this in the comment section of a New York Times article on 1010 WINS' sounders in 2010).

This composition was used by 1010 WINS from 1974 to 1993 and was the top of the hour, twenty after the hour and forty after the hour sounder.

In 1993, 1010 WINS replaced this sounder with a package of three different sounders inspired by this one. The composer of that package is unknown (it is not Foster Kent). In 2010, the 1993 package was replaced with another package of sounders inspired by this sounder.

I want to thank youtube user TServo2049 for giving me this sounder back in September 2012 in an email. This content was created by Ib Glindemann and the rights to the song belong to him.

I hope you love this excellent sounder from the iconic all-news station.
