1978 Maine radio frequency key

M

Maine-i-ac

Glad to see radiodiscussions.com resurrected. I wish we could get the participation we used to. I just didn't go through the setup hassle which wasn't that bad after all. Anyway, thought I'd post what the radio landscape looked like back in the dark ages of 1978 in the state o' Maine. This is from the Bangor Daily News. Discussion? Memories?

Thanks for the corrections Fred Ziffel, I was only going by what the BDN said. Who'd a thunk that they got stuff wrong back then too? :p
 
I've been reading these Radio listings for years,and they're always full of errors.One particular error over the years & still happens today are the call letters to Channel 6.I see them listed as WCHS instead of WCSH in quite a few articles about the station.Over the years I've seen this discussion on other boards.So I guess it happens everywhere.It's always interesting to see these listings from the past.
