1540 WPTR is gone

[Jim Hall]

I remember flipping between WPTR and WKBW at our summer place in New Hampshire (before WRKO went top 40 and with WMEX's poor signal). We also got CHUM or WHN, depending on which way you turned the radio.

Albany's 1540 hasn't been WPTR since 2004, but the current owner turned in the license last week.

I grew up around Albany, before FM was a thing. WTRY and WPTR were "the" stations for Top 40.

I mention this because WPTR had a blowtorch signal with a DA pointed mostly in the direction of New England back in the day, and some member of theis list might remember...
