Yeah.  I didn't mean to imply that Dick put the stations on the air.  I know
he owned them in the 80's, but I'm not sure when he bought them.

Was WOXO on the air when you worked there in 1964-1966?  Where were the
studios at that time?  I seem to remember that, at one point, WOXO and WKTQ
had different owners, but I'm not sure if that's true.

<<They had a sister station WKTJ Farmington.>>

That's another station that is still locally owned and operated.

That's right, but I think the Pineaus were gone by that point.
