Both stations became a full-time simulcast once new FCC regulations were passed eliminating the rule mandating that combination AM/FM license holders originate separate programming for half of the broadcast day.
Amateur use of VHF and UHF allocations exploded in the late 1960s and early 1970s as repeaters started going on the air. Repeater use sparked a huge interest in the 2-meter and 70-centimeter (420–450 MHz) bands, however, this interest never fully found its way into the 1.25-meter band. Many amateurs attribute this to the abundance of commercial radio equipment designed for 136–174 MHz and 450–512 MHz that amateurs could easily modify for use on the 2-meter and 70-centimeter bands. There were no commercial frequency allocations near the 1.25-meter band, and little commercial radio equipment was available.
Wild Kingdom increased ecological and environmental awareness in the United States. Its exciting footage brought the wilds of Africa, the Amazon River, and other exotic locales into the living rooms of millions of Americans. It created an interest in commercial nature programming that led to several other wildlife documentary programs going on the air, including Animal World, Wild, Wild World of Animals and Lorne Greene's New Wilderness, and in subsequent decades, to entire cable television networks devoted to these topics, such as the Discovery Channel and Animal Planet. Many fans of wildlife documentaries still consider Wild Kingdom the "gold standard" against which other such shows are compared.
In 1983 WKLB received approval from the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) to increase its power to 5000 watts, making it one of the most powerful AM radio stations in the Kentucky Mountains. Its 5000 watt signal covers a good portion of the Kentucky Mountains. The station's range reaches as far east as Knott County, Kentucky, as far west as Somerset, Kentucky, as far north as the Bert T. Combs Mountain Parkway in Campton, Kentucky, and as far south as Jellico, Tennessee on interstate 75. The station has broadcast Clay County High School football, and boys' and girls' basketball games since first going on the air in 1980.
Century 21 used some of the biggest names in country music radio DJs from across the country to record these tapes. The automated synchronizer and the SMC system carried out a good deal of the days programming, while KLLA itself remained live with separate DJs for its broadcast day. Immediately after going on the air at 0600, KJAE went live for three hours until 0900, and it was the first morning radio show in Vernon Parish that was done live. It had been started on KLLA by owner/manager Nick Pollacia, and when KJAE came on line it transferred over to that new station.
As early as 1967, efforts were under way to secure a new CBC affiliate for Saskatoon. CFQC-TV, which had been the only station in Saskatoon since going on the air in December 1954, had wished to switch to CTV once the federal government commissioned a new CBC station. In November 1967, however, the federal government declined an application by the CBC to establish a new station, with Prime Minister Lester B. Pearson stating reasons including cost- cutting by the government and the fact CFQC already existed to provide CBC programming. After this and further delays, the CBC was finally approved to launch a new station in Saskatoon.
An October 17, 2011 item at Deadline Hollywood revealed that Fox decided not to air the show. In a wide-ranging interview with Austinist published soon afterward, Thomas discussed the situation, saying, "we really thought this one was going on the air. So it was both surprising and disappointing that it didn't." In February 2009, according to Entertainment Weekly, Thomas fueled rumors of a possible Veronica Mars film. On March 13, 2013, Thomas posted a Kickstarter page announcing he had acquired permission from Warner Brothers to proceed with fundraising for a Veronica Mars movie; if the project raised $2 million by April 12, the film would be made.
While most radio stations in Texas have four-letter call signs beginning with a K, this station has three call letters beginning with a W. Many stations going on the air in the early 1920s received three letter call signs. The AM station with which WRR-FM had once been partnered dates back to 1921. WRR on the AM side was the first licensed radio station west of the Mississippi and second in the country. With the introduction of land-based U.S. radio station licensing in late 1912, it had been the practice to assign call signs starting with "K" in the west and "W" in the east.
McMahon was worried that allowing Hart to remain champion after the match at Survivor Series would cause problems and reckoned that Bischoff was still prone to doing anything he could to get under McMahon's skin and McMahon thought he would be likely to mention the signing of Hart to WCW on Nitro the following night (something Bischoff said would not have happened under normal circumstances). Furthermore, Bischoff would have a one-hour head start on McMahon due to Nitro going on the air live at 8:00p.m., which would have been more than enough time to announce Hart's WCW arrival. Therefore, McMahon felt, he needed to find a way to preemptively strip Hart of the title.
The men quickly located and interviewed eyewitnesses, going on the air shortly later: During these early years, the show began at 7:30 AM and ran for one hour, competing in its last half-hour with the national CBS broadcast of Captain Kangaroo but usually winning its time slot. National trends shifted, however, and in 1970, the show was replaced by a talk program for the adult audience. After the Federal Communications Commission called in 1975 for more educational programming for children, the show was retooled as "Peppermint Place," a taped half-hour magazine-style program. The show continued in that format for over 20 years, eventually being syndicated to 108 markets nationwide before ending its run in 1996.
Kanter is a professional wrestling fan and has previously expressed interest in pursuing a professional wrestling career. Kanter has had online feuds with professional wrestlers including All Elite Wrestling's MJF. On 9 September 2019, Kanter made a special appearance at a WWE Monday Night Raw event at Madison Square Garden, where prior to Raw going on the air he defeated WWE 24/7 Champion R-Truth to win the title, though he would lose it back to R-Truth moments later (all of which was shown later during the Raw broadcast). Kanter established himself as a heel during the segment, when he revealed his Celtics jersey to the New York City crowd.
WACH-TV was the third television station to sign on in Hampton Roads, debuting on October 13, 1953. Operating as a sister station to WHYU radio (1270 kHz), it broadcast from the tallest structure in the Lower Peninsula, its tower at 114 24th Street in downtown. Its schedule consisted mainly of sports and mystery shows, with five hours a day of programs such as Crusader Rabbit, All American Football and Ringside with Rasslers. Before even going on the air, the new TV station had made waves in Washington when it lobbied for the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) to regulate the television networks, saying that the lone VHF station in Hampton Roads, WTAR-TV, was "hogging" all three network hookups.
In the lead-up to the hearing, BCTV and CKVU both made proposals to run channel 10. Daryl Duke, owner of Western Approaches and CKVU, noted that the Victoria studio building was "only months, if that, from going on the air". The CRTC, in a decision published on January 26, 1979, allowed the CBC to begin operating the Saturna Island transmitter as a rebroadcaster of CBUT at reduced power; the corporation said it would do so beginning March 31. The operation at reduced power meant that the new station would not require KING-TV to be moved by Lower Mainland cable systems, and the CRTC stated that full-power operation would require the Victoria studios to be operational.
WHNZ is the successor of two radio stations, co-owned WDAE, one of Florida's oldest radio stations, going on the air May 15, 1922 and spending most of its history at AM 1250. And it also has history on AM 570 in Pinellas Park, which was WHNZ's original dial position and carried some of the same business and financial shows that are heard on today's WHNZ. On October 24, 1991, what was then WPLP was bought by Paxson Communications, the company founded by multi-millionaire Bud Paxson after he had sold the Home Shopping Network.Broadcasting Yearbook 1995 page B-90 Unlike today's WHNZ, Paxson put a full-time business and financial station on AM 570, changing the call sign to WHNZ.
The 1300 kHz frequency has a long history in Baltimore. The station signed on June 8, 1922 as WEAR, owned by the Baltimore American. WEAR's inaugural program, which included a speech from mayor William F. Broening and musical performances, is considered to be the first regularly-scheduled broadcast in Baltimore; WCAO had been issued a license in May 1922, but did not go on the air until September. Shortly after going on the air, on June 14, 1922, Warren G. Harding's speech at the dedication of the Francis Scott Key memorial at Fort McHenry was broadcast by the station; this is generally considered to be the first time a President of the United States had given a speech over the radio.
Prior to the event going on the air, there was a backstage dispute between WCW World Heavyweight Champion Hollywood Hogan and head of WCW creative, Vince Russo. Hogan wanted to retain the WCW championship in his match against Jeff Jarrett and leave the pay-per- view as champion, but Russo wanted to have Jarrett win it and later lose it to Booker T that same night. Russo told Hogan that he was going to have Jarrett lie down for him to work a real conflict, although Jarrett was not told it was a work. When the bell rang, Jarrett laid down in the middle of the ring while Russo threw the WCW World title belt in the ring and yelled at Hogan from ringside to pin Jarrett.
WFRO had for much of its existence, been a combination AM and FM station, with the FM first going on the air in 1946, and the AM (at 900 kHz) coming on the air three years later. Both stations simulcast each other for a portion of the broadcast day, breaking away for separate programming during the midday hours, with the AM concentrating more on information and talk, and the FM for music. For many years, WFRO AM broadcast a full-service MOR format heavy on local news and information; WFRO-FM played beautiful music during non-simulcast dayparts. AM 900's directional signal allowed WFRO programming to be heard clearly throughout much of southeastern Michigan (including the metropolitan Detroit area) and southwestern Ontario in addition to Ohio's North Coast region.
WOYL was the very first radio station in all of Venango County, first going on the air on February 14, 1946, while the area was still in its oil-drilling and oil-producing heyday. It operated for many years under the call letters WKRZ. Somewhat unusual for this radio station was its two- tower daytime directional antenna pattern on a Class C "local" frequency at 1340 kHz, as well as its VERY unusual share-time arrangement (the station would sign off from 7:00-8:30 PM on Tuesdays and Thursdays and 7:00-8:00 PM on Sundays). This was mandated by the FCC in order to protect another station operating on this same frequency at nearby Grove City College. That station, WSAJ, first went on the air in 1920.
Although broadcast translators are prohibited from originating their own programming, the FCC has controversially allowed translator stations to rebroadcast in standard analog FM the audio of an HD Radio channel of the primary station the translator is assigned to. This also allows station owners, who already usually own multiple stations locally and nationally, to avoid the rulemaking process of changing the table of allotments as would be needed to get a new separately-licensed station, and to avoid exceeding controlling-interest caps intended to prevent the excessive concentration of media ownership. Such new translator stations can block new LPFM stations from going on the air in the same footprint. Translator stations are allowed greater broadcast range (via less restrictive height and power limitations) than locally originated LPFMs, so they may occupy a footprint in which several LPFMs might have been licensed otherwise.
In February 2012, François Asselineau and his party, UPR, claimed they were "barred from the major media" ("barrés des grands médias") and "banned from going on the air" ("interdits d'antenne") as "[their] ideas are upsetting" ("[leur] discours dérange"). In 2014, UPR described itself as being "the most censored party in France".Yann Thompson, Européennes: la galère des petits candidats, France Télévisions, 21 May 2014 On 23 April 2014, François Asselineau's party sent a registered letter to Conseil supérieur de l'audiovisuel (Audiovisual Superior Council) to demand "urgent action regarding the mainstream broadcasting media to have them accept UPR at last in their broadcasts". The "news blackout" that Asselineau allegedly had to deal with was criticized again after the 2014 European elections, as his party obtained slightly more votes than Nouveau Parti anticapitaliste (0.41% vs 0.39%) without further attracting attention from the mainstream media.
The call letters were changed to WIFI about two years after going on the air, and it didn't take long for WIFI to make an impact on its competitor, though not enough to effectively put it out of business until years later. WIFI was the very first FM station to come on the air in McKean County, with WBRR in Bradford coming on the air three years later. WHKS in Port Allegany and WQRM in Smethport would not come on the air until 6 and 7 years later, respectively. Though only 3,000 watts at the time of its debut, Kane was located at the top of a mountain, which allowed WIFI a huge coverage area from a relatively short antenna, thus enabling it to serve all of McKean County and parts of New York's Twin Tiers area, as well as a portion of Elk and Warren Counties.
"If PTV insists on going on the air, the director-general of the Public Relations Department, as the officer in charge, will have to take legal action, just as ASTV has also been legally pursued since the last government," said Thirapat, referring to ASTV's pending court injunction. Thai Day Dot Com Co, the operator of ASTV, filed a criminal lawsuit against the Public Relations Department, alleging that it abused its powers when questioning ASTV's legal status. During the last days of the Thaksin government, the Administrative Court granted ASTV's request for an injunction to stop authorities from taking it off the air while the court is considering its petition.The Nation, Thirapat's media bungles have not helped, 2 March 2007 Station executive Veera claimed that Article 3 of the junta's interim constitution guaranteed the right to engage in broadcasting all activities in accordance with the law.
By 1964, however, the station had become a non-entity on the campus. The student newspaper, The Cowl, described it as a "phantom frequency" that had only sporadically broadcast. On November 5, 1965, the Federal Communications Commission awarded Providence College a construction permit for a 10-watt FM station on 91.3 MHz. It was the culmination of FM plans first laid more than 15 years prior. In 1948, the college had obtained a construction permit for a station at 89.9 MHz; at the time Albertus Magnus Hall—the science building which housed the studios—was built, it was mentioned that the plans included FM broadcasting. After going on the air on March 15, 1966, WDOM increased its broadcast hours—airing ten hours a day—and expanded its sports coverage, including freshman basketball and varsity hockey games. The station continued to broadcast only during the school year. Its music format was Top 40. Alumni Hall in the early 1970s WDOM grew over the course of the 1970s.
103.9 began at a time when Kane, Pennsylvania (the station's original city of license) was experiencing a sharp decline in its local economy. Originally assigned the call letters WRXZ and going on the air December 22, 1981, 103.9 came on the air at a time of extensive expansion of the FM radio band; the FCC's Docket 80-90 resulted in a boom of new FM stations in suburban and rural locations through the 1980s. WRXZ was founded by Huber-Dixon Broadcasting, with T.R. Dixon serving as president, and Clarence V. Huber, Jr. as general manager. WRXZ would be competing for advertising revenue with a well- established AM competitor, WKZA, that had been on the air since 1954, and had been controlled for many years by a New York-based company (the Bilbat Broadcast Bunch dba locally as Raise Kane Radio, Inc.) that had other stations in its portfolio in addition to its own.
A series of interviews for on-air and sales staff was held at the Holiday Inn at Somerset in the summer of 1991, drawing hundreds of applicants thanks to an intensive advertising campaign and a sudden glut of on-air talent displaced by new FCC ownership regulations, which had station owners pairing up FMs in the same market. At this time, it was speculated that WQZS would go on the air with a soft adult contemporary format in response to research conducted in the Somerset County area. When the station did go on the air, instead of soft adult contemporary, the station went on the air with an oldies format, and that format, though very slightly modified over the years, remains today. WQZS still operates literally unchanged since going on the air, having the same owner, format, and studio location at 128 Hunsrick Road in Summit Township, about five miles (8 km) south of Meyersdale and in the foothills of the Meyersdale Wind Energy Center.
Former logo, used until December 31, 2012. The station first signed on the air on May 31, 1996 as a primary affiliate of UPN and a secondary affiliate of The WB for the Waco–Killeen–Temple market; the station was originally owned by White Knight Broadcasting, with Communications Corporation of America (ComCorp), owner of Waco-based Fox affiliate KWKT (channel 44) and the station's Bryan-based satellite KYLE-TV (channel 28), providing sales and other services to KAKW under a commercial inventory agreement. KAKW had secured the UPN affiliation in June 1995, prior to going on the air; the WB affiliation had previously been held by KYLE before its 1996 acquisition by ComCorp. Prior to the launch of Fredericksburg-based San Antonio station KBEJ (now KCWX) in 2000, channel 62 doubled as an alternate UPN affiliate for the Austin television market, alongside K13VC (channel 13); the launch of KAKW's digital signal on channel 13 would subsequently result in the shutdown of K13VC on March 29, 2003.
WHCP did not have that recourse, and could not increase their analog station's power due to probable interference with digital television stations in Roanoke, Virginia and Knoxville, Tennessee. Shortly after going on the air, it signed on two low-power translators—WBWV-LP channel 69 in Huntington and WOWB-LP channel 53 in Charleston. The station effectively depended on cable and satellite for most of its viewership, which is all but essential for acceptable television in much of this vast market, even in today's digital era—especially in Eastern Kentucky. Dish Network had carried the station since it began offering a local Huntington–Charleston feed, with DirecTV following suit on January 25, 2006. The station began to be carried in high definition on DirecTV on November 9, 2010, with Dish following on March 7, 2012. When UPN and The WB shut down and merged to form The CW in 2006, WHCP joined the new network more or less by default. On May 26, WOWB and WBWV became WOCW-LP channel 21 and WVCW-LP channel 45, respectively, in preparation for the new affiliation.
KCLS was the third radio station to be built in Flagstaff. The first, KFXY, operated in Flagstaff from December 10, 1925 to 1932. The station was owned and operated by Mary Costigan and operated from the Orpheum Theatre and Monte Vista Hotel. It changed its call letters to KUMA on June 22, 1932, as part of a move to Yuma; the station operated in Yuma until the FCC revoked its license on February 1, 1940, because the licensee did not actually operate the station. The second attempt, KWRZ on 1340 kHz, was owned by the Grand Canyon Broadcasting Company and broadcast between April 4, 1947 and September 30, 1949, when it was shuttered for financial reasons and the unlawful transfer of the station without the approval of the Federal Communications Commission. While KCLS had been initially slated to debut as a daytime-only station on 1220 kHz, the demise of KWRZ prompted KCLS to apply for the 1340 frequency instead, and the station changed to 1340 before going on the air in August 1950.
On January 9, 1931, the Aroostook Broadcasting Corporation filed for a construction permit to build a new radio station on 1420 kHz in Presque Isle, approved by the Federal Radio Commission on May 26 of that year. Initially assigned WMHM, the call letters were quickly changed to WAGM before going on the air January 6, 1932. The new radio station, owned by ham operators Red Hughes and Bob McIntosh, had a young staff: its five employees ranged in age from 19 to 27. The original studios were located on the top floor of the Old Theater Building and primarily had basic, handmade equipment. The operation was so small that Harold Glidden, who was the manager of WAGM, was its only salesman until the mid-1940s. WAGM moved with other stations on the frequency to 1450 kHz when NARBA came into force on March 29, 1941. In the winter of 1944, a fire destroyed WAGM's facility. The 100-watt outlet increased power to 250 watts in 1946, part of a post-fire move to studios on State Street.
Logo under ESPN Radio affiliation, used until August 16, 2020. WKJG began broadcasting November 15, 1947 under the ownership of Northeastern Indiana Broadcasting, itself controlled by William Kunkel. Kunkel was also the publisher of The Journal Gazette; the call letters are derived from both entities. Initially a Mutual affiliate, WKJG joined NBC Radio in 1956, after WOWO dropped NBC to go independent; this brought the station in line with sister station WKJG-TV (channel 33), which had been an NBC-TV affiliate since going on the air in 1953. The WKJG stations were sold to the Truth Publishing Company of Elkhart in 1957; in 1963, the stations came under the Communicana banner. After WKJG-TV was sold in 1971 (albeit to an entity controlled by the Dille family, which also controlled Communicana), it was decided to change the call letters of the radio stations, citing the perceived difficulty in saying "WKJG". As a result, on October 1, WKJG, by then a top 40 station, became WMEE, with sister beautiful music station WKJG- FM (97.3 FM) becoming WMEF. The following year, WMEE ceased its NBC Radio affiliation.
