WBUR's L-O-N-G Station ID

[Mike Ward]

Here, WNIR 100.1 FM Kent ("The Talk of Akron") used to be WKNT-FM, paired
with its daytime AM sister station, WKNT 1520 (now WJMP).

In the early days of Howie Chizek's talk show (mid-1970s), I remember him
giving a live hourly legal ID going into CBS Radio News... "WKNT AM and FM,
Kent, Ohio".

WNIR is still licensed to Kent, though they've been targeting nearby Akron
since a power boost in the early 1980s. WJMP runs syndicated talk to
complement WNIR's local lineup, and the stations haven't simulcast in
ages...and Howie passed away recently after a nearly 40 year run at the
top.
