The courtship of NBC by the Herald-Traveler

[Dan.Strassberg]

But KYW's move from 1020 to 1060 appears to be a red herring in this
discussion. It happened with NARBA and AFAIK, KYW was first-adjacent
to WHN both before and after NARBA, meaning that KYW had to protect
New York City both pre- and post-NARBA (and WHN, which had been on
1010 and moved to 1050, had to protect Philadelphia both pre- and
post-NARBA). IOW, after NARBA, 1060 became the "new" 1020; nearly all
stations in that part of the dial moved up by 40 kc. (For example, WBZ
moved from 990 to 1030.)
