Subject: Re: WBKA
Was Peter correct in stating that the old WBKA-AM in Brockton was at 1450?
Or was it a typo and he meant 1460?
I always thought 1450 was a "graveyard" frequency, meaning that (in those
days), stations were confined to 250 watts night (and 250 day, or was it
1000 watts day by then?).
I hope Peter can tell us what kind of power WBKA-AM had and the correct
frequency if not 1450.
Curiosity: If WBET-AM began broadcasting on Thanksgiving Day, 1946, could
their first broadcast have been Brockton High School's Thanksgiving-Day
football game? I know that for many years (perhaps all the way back to
the begining?), WBET has broadcast Brockton football, and in recent years,
has done some other Brockton, Cardinal Spellman, and other area high-
school sports.
