Who owns WNCC these days and do they have "night time authority" to broadcast?

I believe they're licensed to operate at 29 watts at night. Vernal Enterprises still owns it (and has since 1996), but I understand they may be LMA-ing it.

On the FM side I would say 93.5 WTPA in Harrisburg.
On AM hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm WLBR 1270 in Lebanon. My one brother in law works on air!

I agree. I would also add WHYL from Carlisle and WEEU from Reading.
 
My vote would be WEEX 1230 in the 70's, Easton PA. Also a good one same era was WKAP 1320 Allentown. I liked those better than WAEB 790.
 
Full service WPPA-1360 Pottsville. Family-owned since 1946 sign-on. "Step Up To the Mike," a dailly two-hour call-in show plus lotsa lhigh school sports.

I loved WJET back in the 70s. It was Frank Martin, the Morning Mayor, followed by Ronnie G (Seggi), Joey Stevens, Big Al Night. Then it changed in the later 70s when Sandy Beach and Barney Love did the mid-day and early evening shifts.

I remember listening to "Big Al Night, All Night" and knowing what I know now (and have heard) Al Night was the owners son who ran carts (or reels) of the 'big voice Al night' (like early voice tracking) and also I would hear records skip for 10 minutes or longer in the middle of the night until he would get back to the studio (or wake up) I don't know, I was kinda young then. But, I won my first radio prize from WJET-AM 1400 in 1974, a 'Streaker Seeker T-shirt'. By then they had moved from the downtown area to out near the airport. Good Times!
 
The 'voice' of Big Al Knight on WJET in the 1970s was Dick Thompson, PD of WHOT-AM in Youngstown OH that Myron Jones also owned then. The board op during the week of the Al Knight show was Larry Jones, Myron's brother. They supposedly had a special jukebox for Larry to run that was loaded full of 45s. WJET was at 1635 Ash St. from the 1960s (at least) until the early 1990s when it moved to WJET-TV. They moved from 1400AM to 102.3FM in 1986. When the studios were on Sterrettania Rd. in the late 1990s, 102.3 was known as the Point.
