About the only thing I remember about WTAO is that for awhile it was 
an ABC radio affiliate (I think after WEZE became the NBC affiliate 
and dropped ABC) and carried a children's program called "Story 
Princess."  I listened to that once or twice because I recalled that 
circa 1955 the Story Princess had appeared from time to time on the 
Howdy Doody Show.

They also carried a Jewish religious program for awhile called "The 
Message of Israel."  As I recall, every broadcast ended with the hymn 
"Yigdal."
