Would be interested in knowing what AM's are left on Long Island, who vanished and when and if anything is left of any of the ones who went away.

Anybody remember WGBB Car Boxes? If you displayed one in your car window and one of the spotters saw you, you won a prize! In the 60s and 70s, WGBB played MOR music by day, top 40/oldies at night. For many of us, 1240 was the third choice after WMCA-570 and WABC-770.
As for 1520, it was a country station back in the day, but when it signed off at sundown, the Mighty KB from Buffalo came booming in!
Happy memories from a bygone era!

WFTU/1570, licensed to Five Towns College, is not off the air (even if they have transmitter issues at times). I know because I attend school there and I host a program on WFTU (Fridays from 2 to 4 PM, btw, if you're interested).
Re: Enough already
A waste of broadcast spectrum? Hardly. For 18 months or 2 years they were a CHR station called Student Radio 1440 teaching kids how to work in radio. After that they were leased out and became a station playing Contemporary Christian Music as 1440 The Spirit of New York. That lasted until late 2009/early 2010. Then they began simulcasting Radio Cantinco Nuevo before they went off the air last July.

I would go out to Riverhead myself, but gas still ins't a bargain right now. I'll bring this up with the GM and CE when I see them next. At least the web feed is on (http://www.wfturadio.com).
For WFTU Five Towns College, www.wfturadio.com isn't currently working (at least for me). Instead, try http://www.ftc.edu/Student Life/stu_wftu.html to reach the same page/info.
