WTRY

[David Tomm]

They also owned 101.3 in New Haven and around 1981 or so moved the Top 
40 format off WAVZ (13 "Waves") and on to the FM as "KC-101," which 
still exists today.  I don't know if they were in any other markets 
besides Albany and New Haven.

Believe it or not, New Haven is one of Clear Channel's original 
markets.  IIRC, Kops-Monahan sold WAVZ and WKCI to Noble Broadcasting 
in the mid 80's.  Noble was acquired by Jacor, which eventually morphed 
into Clear Channel.  While many other stations were bought, sold and 
swapped by CC over the years, WAVZ/WKCI have always been part of their 
portfolio.
