Having been a former owner of WKBR (many others can make that claim), I know
for a fact that WKBR was on 1240.  When it moved to 1250, it made way for
Franklin to be able to be born.   I had all the old FCC filings/ license-
stuff.  Was definitely 1240 before the big jump to 5,000 watts.   In case my
memory is gone,  I have a thick steel "license plate" promotional thing with
embossed letters saying WKBR -1240 ON YOUR DIAL.  Found it in the old barn at
the tower site.
