WUBE 50 years

[RadioBill]

I don't recall if the rock-to-country flip was well publicized, but I knew about it, perhaps because I hung around WSAI at the time doing intern-like work. I was an avid and long-time 1230 listener throughout my teenage years and I took that 1969 music format flip pretty hard. Ironically WUBE's slow death as a rocker began with the tweak of their rock n roll format from "All American" to Drake. I thought 1230 was at its best when it was 1-2-3 W/B which was right after the call letter change from WCPO to WUBE.

Interesting history that I missed....I know that the times that I heard WUBE in 1967....I thought that it sounded like a really good radio station....I had really liked WCPO too...in 1964 and 1965...
