NYC Radio: City Honors WINS Reporter

Stan Brooks

A Manhattan street was named “Stan Brooks Way” Wednesday for the legendary radio reporter who died last year, according to The NY Daily News.

The 1010 WINS City Hall reporter worked for the station for nearly five decades - and filed his last story just two weeks before his death at age 86.

The corner of W. 43rd St. and 10th Ave., where he lived with his wife, will bear a sign in his honor.

“Stan Brooks was a fixture, a famous, legendary, literally legendary 1010 WINS reporter,” said Mayor de Blasio, who signed the street naming bill.

“He never stopped working. A lot of us saw him questioning us - good natured, but persistent,” he said. “He stayed on the job...right up to the end.”
