Threshold audio since 1753 UTC, but too low in the noise to ID the tunes

Decided to tune in via Westminister MD sdr as I have been a regular listener to WNBC (660 am NYC) from '69 through current configuration of WFAN.  Was trying to ID disc jockeys talking but the audio on speech is not that clear.  Thought I heard Imus and/or Cousin Brucie though.  I clearly heard WNBC ID.

1830 "FM" Steely Dan
1837 "FM" again
1846 "FM" continues......
1852 Not really sure I understand, "FM" yet again.
1855 "Somebody to Love" Jefferson Airplane....stopped midsong
1856 OM speaking (yelling?) can't understand, off?

Definitely IDing as WNBC. Finally had a chance to listen to the SDR capture from July 19, 2020. Heard from 1855 (was on when the SDR capture began, so broadcast probably began earlier) to 1928 UTC (no longer hearing).

1855 UTC Jefferson Airplane "Somebody To Love" song.
1900 UTC "Dirty Water" song.
1905 UTC Jackson 5 "Got To Be There" song.
1906 UTC "La Bamba" song.
1910 UTC  Sufaris "Wipe Out" song.
1912 UTC Four Tops "Standing In The Shadows of Love" song.
1915 UTC Jose Feliciano "Light My Fire" song.
1921 UTC Male with traffic report "... we have more candy for you this Easter holiday weekend all weekend long from WNBC". WNBC jingle.
1923 UTC ad for something at the Javits Convention Center.
1924 UTC male "... right now 53 WNBC New York".
1925 UTC Frankie Valli "Rag Doll" song.
1928 UTC Gone? Not hearing.

Interesting as understanding the talk was mostly difficult, but the songs came through. Overall poor to barely heard.

Whom was playing an old WNBC audio?
