He must have purchased it from the original owner (and founder)
because I worked there 1964-1966 and Dick Gleason was not the
owner then.  They had a sister station WKTJ Farmington.  My wifes
great uncle was their bookkeeper for years.
(KTQ and KTJ stand for Kings Take Queens and Kings Take Jacks - 
the founder was a poker player)

WPNO, I believe.  Named after the founder whose name was Pineau.
Their studios were in a storefront on Minot Avenue in Auburn.
