Looks like KYW is the last one in the east.

I used to listen to KQV top 40 radio in the early Beatles era. I remember Chuck Brinkman.

That’s where he met Jim Quinn, who gave him a lot of his lessons in how to do radio.

If he’s shutting down and not selling out, his license should be up for grabs. Hard to argue that you are operating in the public interest when you aren’t operating.

A K call east of the Mississippi. Those are grandfathered and rare.

KDKA is another, also in Pittsburgh.

The Eastern Idaho news station starts with local news in the morning (a conservative pair for a 3 hours). Rush from 10 AM to 1 PM. Replay of Sean Hannity, then Glenn Beck. At 7 PM, Savage has the slot until 10 PM. An hour of Ground Zero (Clyde Lewis), then Coast to Coast AM. They have no problem selling all the advertising anyone could tolerate all through the day. The signal is hot from Pocatello to Jackson Hole, WY. Internet streaming and an active website. It is an intense business and the staff understands their market well.

Wow. This brings back memories.

My three brothers and I had a little AM radio in our bedroom and late at night about 1970 we would listen to far off stations (WLS in Chicago?) another one out of Buffalo- Cheektowaga!- call sign forgotten.

The reception was better in the winter and it would come and go as the latest hits were played.

Timothy, Timothy, Joe was looking at you.

How far we’ve come electronically.
