I don't doubt your research, but I do question an interpretation which
considers WVDA/WEZE/WPZE as a successor to WLAW.  I just don't see it.
WLAW's facility was taken over by WNAC, which also added Lawrence as a
CoL.  WNAC, continuing to broadcast from the same studio site, but through
the former WLAW transmitter, became the direct successor to WLAW, which
makes WRKO the direct successor to both WNAC and WLAW.

WVDA, etc. was WNAC's former transmitting facility, and may also have been
WNAC's former license.  You probably know more than I do about how the
transaction was structured, but it seems to me that WVDA/WEZE/WPZE is also
a successor to WNAC.  It could only be a successor to WLAW if the former
owners of WLAW ended up owning it at some point.
