"Michael A. Terrell" wrote in message ... Greg and Joan wrote: A few in our area - WNBP = Newburyport, 1450 AM = NBP, obvious WBOQ = Gloucester, replaced WVCA (Voice of Cape Ann), WBOQ orignally was an all classical station and the BOQ was to represent "Bach". WCCM = Haverhill, 1490 AM. The station was orignally at 800 khz in Lawrence. "CCM" was supposed to somehow represent "800" in Roman numerals. It's a stretch. WLLH = Lawrence and Lowell (two synchronous transmitters at 1400 am) = Lowell, Lawrence, and Haverhill, but Haverhill never got a transmitter WPAA-FM, Andover - Phillips Andover Academy, a low-power class D that's still on the air . WPFB AM & FM in Middletown, Ohio was owned by Paul F Bradeon, and another station he owned was WPBF so it is rather obvious he used his initials. WMAL - Washington, DC - for the M A Lease Optical Company They sold the station to NBC in the 1930s, but the call persists to this day. |
