I don't remember WOTW being all that great even by 1974 
standards.  Formatically they were all over the place, typical small market 
radio trying to be all things to all people with a rather bush 
league-sounding air staff.  Might have (sorta) worked in 19_6_4, but by the 
70s that kind of radio was pretty dated.

Weren't the calls changed back to WOTW to try and play on the station's 
"heritage"?  No way is a 1kW daytimer gonna attract enough revenue to be 
live most of the day...I'm sure passers-by will be fascinated watching the 
automation switch satellite feeds.
