[BC] AND... CDBS is teetering under the LPFM crunch.

[Mark Humphrey]

Fortunately, there are still some LPFM applicants with a true educational mission.

One of the organizations I assisted in the just-closed LPFM window is Binghamton's eclectic Bundy Museum of History & Art, which houses the "Southern Tier Broadcasters Hall of Fame".   This exhibit honors professionals who worked, lived, or owned stations in the local market (some names you may recognize include Charlie Hallinan and Margaret Bryant of SBE Chapter 1, Rod Serling, Dick Biondi, Merv Griffin, and the Greaseman) and features an historic radio studio filled with vintage gear such as a Gatesway console and Tapecaster cart machines.   If all goes as planned, the Hall of Fame studio will soon become the LPFM air studio.

The museum is based on the west side of Binghamton in the former home of Harlow E. Bundy -- who, with his brother Willard, manufactured time clocks.  As their company grew, the headquarters moved to nearby Endicott -- and eventually became IBM.
