1939 Packard Bell 48E
#16

An even worse fate claimed its 50 KW nighttime power. The owners of KSFN (San Francisco market) bought KGA to reduce its nighttime power to 15 KW in order to up the power of KSFN.
A similar sacrilege happened a few years back where Inner City bought heritage flamethrower that was once Westinghouse's 1190 WOWO. I grew up in Massachusetts listening to Ft Wayne's WOWO
every night. They ratcheted back WOWO to 9 KW at night to give their WLIB NYC a nighttime signal. The Midwest lost a wonderful reliable signal that served rural areas with few stations to add crappy night service on a sub bottom level signal in an area already served by 100 plus signals to add more foreign language to the 35+ that already do. Would be nice if people learned English these days ....fat chance of that....soon it will be press one for English
press two for Spanish
Press three for Hmong
Press four for Creole
press five to 99. for all tower of Babel languages
