ESPN New York moving to 98.7 FM

[Karen McTrotsky]

The death (OK, merger if you want to engage in corporate-speak) of WRKS
leaves KRTH-FM, Los Angeles  as the only former RKO General FM still
operating with the same calls.There were six FMs at the time the group was
broken up per FCC orders and a hostile take-over bid for Gencorp in the
late 80s.

Post break-up, WROR became WBMX-FM in 1991 and later WBZ-FM. Chicago's WFYR
became WRCX in 1994; WAXY, Ft. Lauderdale became WBGG IN 1994: WGMS-FM,
Washington became WTOP-FM  in 2006.

Before the breakup, CKLW-FM (it's Canada so we can say) in Windsor was sold
in 1970 and became CKJY in 1982: KFRC-FM, San Francisco was sold and became
KMEL in 1977;  WHBQ-FM, Memphis was sold in 1972 and became WEZI, now WGKX.
