This isn't the original holder of the WVNJ heritage calls. (I thought to
look this up because I remember WVNJ from growing up in the 60s in
Brooklyn, and it sure didn't match this pattern or dial slot.) The original
WVNJ was at 620 -- it became WSKQ in the 80s, I believe.

This format, I think, could still find a niche in the NYC area -- but,
sadly, most potential listeners aren't where this signal is strongest.
