That was one of the saddest days in broadcast
history for me. WOWO used to have an incredible
signal here in Kentucky.


But, WCKY had a stronger signal, and it was actually a former Kentucky
station,
too. Originally licensed to Covington.


Back in the 70s, my radio buttons were set on WLS,
WCFL, WOWO, and 15 WLAC.


WLAC is on 1510.

True enough, but for years they went by the moniker "15 - WLAC"

Back in the, um, good old days of analog tuners, many stations
'rounded' their frequencies. On an analog tuner you could hardly tell
the difference between 1500 and 1510. An FM station where I live went
by the phrase 'Great 98', although the frequency was 97.9.

When digital tuners showed up all the stations changed their strategy
and started referring to the precise frequency where they were
located.
