What I know is that when WLAW signed on in December of 1937, they had no
affiliation yet and used the local newspaper (Lawrence Eagle Tribune)--
which owned them-- for their news.  By 1943, they were listing in the Radio
Annual as a CBS affiliate.  And by 1948, they were the ABC affiliate.  I
can get exact dates if you need them, but to my knowledge, they did not
affiliate with Mutual.
