[BC] How the KOB decision affected WABC

[Robert-u@comcast.net]

1250 was KTW and it was a share time with KWSU Pullman.  KTW was on from 
11:15pm to Sunset/  KWSU from Sunrise to 11:15pm.

I don't remember KING being on 1100 before 1090.  It was KRSC I think back 
then.

KXA was L-WABC but acted as a daytimer in the 1950's to the time they got 
full time.  WABC just did not go off!  That long wire antenna was still in 
use to the 80's.  I have sent you pictures before.   KXA used to plug KOB 
when it went off air.  KOB came in really well most of the time.  No more 
with 770 at 50d/5n.
