5 By DAVID HINCKLEY DAILY NEWS STAFF WRITER I ow that Harry Harrison has left WCBS-FM, so will his long-running I sidekick, Engineer Al Vertucci. "The station told me April 18 will be my last day," says Vertucci. "I'm going to miss being here, but I have nothing but the happiest memories. This has been a great place to work and great people to work with." WCBS-FM (101.1) program director Joe McCoy is now looking for a permanent replacement for Harrison, who held down the RADIO LMO on the radio talking EVENING 11:35 Tonight Show.

Dan Taylor is in the slot now. Vertucci worked with Harrison for 15 years and became a de facto member of the cast by talking with Harrison and joining the exchange of wisecracks.

He was also Ron Lundy's engineer at WCBS-FM, doing the voice of the character "Mama." "We laughed every single day at 'CBS," says Vertucci. "It was family there." Like Harrison, Vertucci says he isn't retiring. "I'm looking for another job," he says, joking that "one of the drawbacks of staving so long in one place is that your resume gets out of date." Vertucci started as a deejay himself. "Bob Buchmann program director of WAXQJ gave me my break at WBAB," he says. He also worked at WAPR "I wish Joe and CBS only the best," says Vertucci.

"I'm grateful to Joe, Harry and everyone else for a great run." Y-107 BROKEN UP: As expected, new mal will buy the station. The Hamptons station is now simulcasting Jarad Broadcasting's WLIR (92.7 FM), suggesting Jarad may buy that signal. The other two signals, one in northwestern Jersey and one at the Jersey shore, were silent over the weekend. They're the two that would best fit with Nassau's many other Jersey stations, but so far the company hasn't announced what it will do with them.
