As I recall, it was when the FCC began to require AM-FM combos to do
a certain amount of separate programming that WRKO-FM began doing
automated rock & roll music ARKO-Matic something or other. The rest
of the time, they simulcasted WNAC as before. Because this half-
hearted compliance with FCC regs actually drew an audience, the
Powers that Were converted WNAC into WRKO and started a top-40
format.
