Rambling with Gambling was a news and talk radio program aired on WOR (AM) 710 from 1925 until 2000. It was hosted by three generations of people named John Gambling throughout its entire 75-year run.
History
Originally hosted by John B. Gambling, the show was hosted by John B.'s son John A. Gambling beginning in 1959. John A. would continue his hosting duties until his retirement in 1991.
John R. Gambling was John A.'s co-host from 1985 to 1991 and served as a solo host until WOR cancelled the program in 2000. Prior to its cancellation, it was the longest continually-running radio broadcast in America, a position that has since been succeeded by the Grand Ole Opry. John R. later moved to WABC, although WOR refused to allow the "Rambling with Gambling" show and name to go with him, which brought "Rambling with Gambling" to an end. Gambling hosted The John Gambling Show on WABC from 2000 until 2008, when he was laid off in a cost-cutting measure.
Return to WOR
On Wednesday, April 30, 2008 it was announced that John R. Gambling would return to WOR starting Monday May 5, 2008. The show runs from 5:30 AM to 9 AM.[1]
