Not like WEVD was exactly a heritage station.  I don't know what the calls
were originally, but wasn't this frequency the home of WHN for many years?
And wasn't WFAN here too before moving to 660?  It's one thing mourning a
legitimate heritage station, but this was just a rather low-rated talk
station on a frequency that's had any number of formats.
