Re: WWZN adds programming

I recall that 1510 was actually WSSH-AM twice, the first time was in 
the late 80's, after Noble bought it and turned it to WSSH-AM from 
WMRE, a big-band station ("memories") which ended up leasing a lot of 
time and running "Little Walter's Time Machine" on weekends.

The first WSSH-AM didn't simulcast the soft AC on the FM, it ran an 
easy-listening satellite. I recall hearing the song "1900-Yesterday" by 
Liz Damon's Orient Express in Kahn system AM stereo, which was the less-
prevalent AM stereo competitor to Motorola. (I had one of the early 
Walkmans with a switch for either of the two incompatible AM stereo 
systems).

This was before Noble tried satellite country as WKKU (during which time 
I think the AM stereo was shut off for the first time). When it became 
WSSH-AM again, then it did simulcast the FM for awhile, then tried talk, 
then went brokered ethnic until it was sold and turned religious as WNRB, 
who turned the AM stereo back on, but this time with the Motorola C-Quam 
system. 

When it was sold again and ended up as "The Zone", the monaural sports 
programming ran for a few months with the stereo pilot on until it was 
finally shut off for the last time.
