One error jumps out at me - a typo perhaps - 1390 was WROA not WROQ.

WMJY was adult contemporary by this time. In fact, they had already been for a while under the old WQID calls. The changeover to WMJY happened on Valentine’s Day with 5000 songs in a row. I remember the advertising on TV about it.

This list would see a major change in the following month, after WZKX made the switch to its current country format. That move made WUSD switch to its current rock format as WCPR not long after that.
