WILK AT 60!!!!!!

[yonkstur]

Today's the day, Feb. 13th, 1947 and Carten has the Tower Calender to verify the date. Here's a link to what I wrote about the station as I experienced it in my lifetime. Happy Birthday WILK!

Yup. The Yonk has it right and I mentioned it on my show today. 19-and-47 the station went on the air. At one time, AM-FM-TV.

I had this 8 and 1/2 by 11 book the radio stations used to put out in the fifties. It had everything in there, at least a hundred photos of the AM, and the TV station too. Furiously tried to find it before today but couldn't. It'll turn up when I least expect it.

Since WILK is celebrating, I gave them a listen this morning as I slogged through the ice, snow, sleet mess. Sue Henry did the first 23 minutes of her show without taking a call, and without once mentioning a phone number. Is that typical?

Always a possibility of phone problems. i.e.: someone sliding into a phone pole and taking out the critical wires.

Could be, but shouldn't you share that with listeners? She was asking for calls on a couple different topics.

You need to be examined closely and monitored every thirty minutes. That said, it did make me LOL as the kids say.
