Were the other clear channel stations pressing for 500 kW privliges?


WLW in '48 was using 50 kw.

If I recall WLW was required to shut down the 500KW rig in 1939. (I've
heard vague rumors it was occasionally "re-lit" during WW2 at the
request of the Army)

I know WSM filed for 500KW, and was part of a group of 1-A clears that
asked for 750KW in the 1970s. I'm quite confident it wasn't the only
one besides WLW to do so.
