 no idea why 1947 was such a big year for new AMs, but it seems there were a
 number of smaller markets (like Lynn and Quincy) that got a new station that
 year, as did WICE in Providence. >>

I think it probably has something to do with the end of World War II.  The
country was booming economically with the end of the war and new businesses
were starting in many industrys.  Also, does anyone know if there was any
slowdown of granting new stations because of the war?
