The original WEVD was on a different frequency, I believe 1330.  The format 
for many years was Yiddish and Jewish oriented programming aimed at people 
from "the old country".

I also seem to remember from my childhood in the NY area that for a while 
the 1050 frequency was known as WMGM.

Can anyone confirm or dispute my memories?
