MISC. STATION STORIES

Here are stories and color about individual station studios and transmitters. By no means inclusive, this page directs you to a view of what was at the time the “very latest” radio technologies and operations. See also Radio Pioneers, Development of the AM Band and Breakup of the Clears.

Stories have been added as they were obtained: we offer apologies for the lack of alphabetical order. “Control-F” or other search functions should work. 

This page, like many others, is being continually updated.  We’re always looking for additional material so please contact us if you have station information you’d like to share.
