I've posted these lists a few times before, and they're in the
Archives, but I thought people might be interested in them. I forget
the origin, but someone sent me mail with two lists of FM stations,
one from 1950 and one from 1958. For New Hampshire, here's what they
show:
WTSV-FM 106.1 Claremont NH
WKNE-FM 107.9 Keene NH [CP]
WMUR-FM 95.7 Manchester NH
WKBR-FM 100.1 Manchester NH
WOTW-FM 106.3 Nashua NH
in 1958:
WKCQ 103.7 Berlin NH
WTSV-FM 106.1 Claremont NH
WKBR-FM 100.1 Manchester NH
WMTW-FM 94.9 Mount Washington NH
WOTW-FM 106.3 Nashua NH
Mount Washington must have had an incredible signal at the time; there
were only seven stations on that channel in the entire country:
KSFR 94.9 San Francisco CA
WSJG 94.9 Miami FL
KCMO-FM 94.9 Kansas City MO
WMTW-FM 94.9 Mount Washington NH
WGRV-FM 94.9 Greeneville TN
WDBJ-FM 94.9 Roanoke VA
WWCF 94.9 Poynette WI
the nearest 94.7 was:
WMAS-FM 94.7 Springfield MA
the nearest 95.1 was:
WGHF 95.1 Brookfield CT
(Interestingly enough, the 95.1 in ``South Bristol Township'', New
York, was at that time shown as being licensed to ``Bristol Center''.)
At this time, Maine had three FM stations, Massachusetts 29,
Connecticut 8, and Vermont none (according to this list).
