Re: war coverage pre-empting Bruins

[Dan.Strassberg@att.net]

By the time I arrived at RPI (September 1952), RRN had probably already become 
the 'QXR Network, but the stations, besides WFLY, which was owned by the Troy 
Record Newspaper, were the original stations of the Rural Radio Network (maybe 
minus one station). I think a small amount of programming (weather, market 
reports) was fed from Ithaca, but nearly the entire broadcast day was a 
simulcast of WQXR-FM, which was itself a simulcast of WQXR (AM). I think the 
Empire Radio Network, with which I am unfamiliar, must have come along well 
after I left Troy (June 1956).
