radioceo,

Interesting list of FM Pioneers. Wonder if any of these were making profits without relying on SCA revenue save for non com stations? Do know FM sets were uncommon in the area then.
 
Speaking just of the three Knox FM's, two of them were then and still are today associated with public schools. WBIR was part of a TV station. They later wound up with 103.5 and sold to Stoner in the late 70's.
