ABC could likely not produce the papers proving it owned WABC in 1964.
No
document retention rules or laws or guidances even suggest document
retention beyond a decade or so. This is more than 40 years!
And yet, you yourself, have documents on your very own website older
than 40
years.

Nice try, oh faux one. But, it ain't playing in Peoria.
Come on boy, where's your quick response?

Like I said, even the FCC does not retain records beyond, in most cases,
the late 70's. If there are any US stations continuously owned since the
60's, I doubt most could prove the original license grant or transfer.


Every radio station I've ever worked had documentation back to the first
days. Even WDZ, Decatur, had it's Instruments of Authorization from the
days when it was an experimental, owned by a grain elevator operator in
Tuscola.

None of the 75 or so I work with has much going back beyond legal record
retention requirements. In fact, most companies have document disposal rules
that require disposal of old papers beyond a certain point to avoid
everything from fire hazards to the rental of excess storage facilities.

You have reasons to shred documents that most people don't have.
