Hi all....In the late 50's-early 60's , WBAZ 1550 Kingston, N.Y. 500 watts daytime ( now dark)..........used to sign off with: " Not by choice, but by order of the FCC, WBAZ now leaves the air. Tune in tomorrow at such and such time when we begin another broadcast day......." followed by the SSB. This little station was a rocker, and sounded good, very professional for a time......at one point, in the winter, they had only: two deejays: Richie Allen, and Bob Badger, (who had worked at WPTR in Albany). They each had two air shifts a day., but in the winter, it was a very short broadcast day.....about 8-9 hours I guess too much competition from WABC, WKBW ( in early mornings and late afternoons) plus a peanut whistle signal probably led to their demise.
