WLW was assigned to 700 on 6/1/1927.

The 6/30/1927 Department of Commerce listings also have KSD (now KTRS) 
St. Louis on the present 550, KMTR (now KLAC) Los Angeles on the present 
570, WTAG Worcester MA on 580, KFI on 640, WMAQ (WSCR) Chicago on 670 
and WOR on 710.

Pretty much anybody on any higher frequency was bumped around by NARBA 
or other mass frequency shifts.
