report: NBC to sell Hartford, Miami TVs

[Dan.Strassberg]

I remember an ad for WOOK in Broadcasting Magazine circa 1950. (In 
those days, stations advertised in Broadcasting in the hope that their 
ads would bring in business.) WOOK, a 250W graveyarder, was one of a 
few stations in the DC market that targeted the African-American 
community, which was large even then. The copy read "Look to WOOK for 
the best in entertainment and everything will be double OK." Talk 
about small time...
