I think (and it pains me to say it!) that Bob might have been
mistaken about WPAT being on Empire. I'm pretty sure the FM went from
the AM towers in Clifton (where it was originally on 103.5 way back
when, then taken silent, then revived on 93.1 in 1957), then up into
the Passaic Hills somewhere (I may be confusing this one with
WVNJ-FM), then Chrysler, then WTC, and only came to Empire after 9/11.
