Yankee was on two stations for a while-- WNAC and then WAAB during 
the 1930s and very early 40s.  The late great John Shepard 3rd did 
the same thing with both stations that NBC did with Red and Blue-- he 
used WNAC for his important shows, and used WAAB (which had 
originally been WLEX in Lexington) as the place for new shows with no 
following, public service shows, religion, etc.  WAAB served that 
function till it moved to Worcester in late 1942.
