After reporting some of the biggest stories of the 20th century during his more than 40 years in radio broadcasting, there’s one standout accomplishment that fills John Bohannon with the most pride: He never lost his composure on the air.

“When I was doing news, they were always trying to break me up,” says Bohannon, who lives in Wantagh. “One time, they tried stealing my copy [of stories to broadcast]. They tried undressing me one day when I was at WPIX-FM.”
