WNAC is the station my mother had on all the time.  It may not have had
the strongest network, but it was strong on local programming, and Yankee
Network news.  My mother turned it on every morning at breakfast to hear
Bill Hahn, "Your knight of the breakfast table," with news and weather
forcasts.  On Saturday morning, we listened to Frank Luthor.  When I was
home from school due to sickness, my mother would put a radio in my room,
and it usually stayed on WNAC all day.
