Well, Perry doesn't seem to have filed for a license to cover yet, nor has a notified the FCC of a resumption of operations; Scott hasn't said anything in NERW that I've seen, and nobody has posted about it to this list until you just did. I only found about about the call change because I was trying to do an FCC application search for WATD to find out what was up with it and got no results. I saw the call change and sent email to Ed Perry asking him about it. -GAWollman From ssmyth@alumni.psu.edu Mon Mar 4 01:29:58 2019 From: ssmyth@alumni.psu.edu (Sean Smyth) Date: Mon, 4 Mar 2019 01:29:58 -0500 Subject: WATD(AM) now WBMS In-Reply-To: <23676.38610.391908.609387@hergotha.csail.mit.edu> References: <23676.38610.391908.609387@hergotha.csail.mit.edu> Message-ID: (Sorry for top posting.)

So, WBMS went on the air in late November 1946, owned by Templetone Radio Manufacturing Co.? The VP and GM of the station was Ivon B. Newman, who had formerly worked at corporate headquarters in New London CT. I don't know if Richard Kaye was involved.? Anyway, WBMS came in over budget when it went on the air, according to an interview with Mr Newman, and evidently it continued to lose money, because it was sold by Templetone to the Friendly Group in early June 1948; that company already owned four other stations, all in small markets. They briefly changed the format to popular music in 1950, and in April 1951, they changed to the (unfortunate) call letters of WHEE.? That was not a successful change-- the station returned to using WBMS in May 1952.? Bartell Broadcasting acquired the station in September 1957 and that's when it became WILD. -- Donna L.

I never knew there was a WHEE in Boston. In the late 1980's and 1990's did some work for WILD, mostly as a stand-in for Grady Moates when he was out of town, and mostly at the old Medford transmitter site on Corporation Way (which road no longer exists). There was an ancient FM antenna on the old tower tuned to 104.1, left over from an abortive attempt at a WBMS-FM. This FM was, I was told, on the air only briefly before it was shut down as unprofitable and the license surrendered. It was not related to the future WBCN, even if the frequency was the same. Also present at the Medford site in the 1990's was the shell of an old Western Electric (1 KW, I think) transmitter, used as a storage cabinet. Somewhere at home I have a book with schematics of the same model transmitter; unless I misremember it consisted of a low level exciter that fed a fully modulated signal to a 1 KW linear RF amplifier. I have never come across a design like that in any other transmitter; I can only assume it was to eliminate the need for a big modulation transformer. WILD used a Gates BC5P2 transmitter which Grady had hot-rodded to produce both supermodulation and extraordinary fidelity; he fed it with an audio processor of his own design, and the result was something that on one of my wide band radios at home sounded louder than WBZ and almost indistinguishable from FM. The BC5P2 was eventually replaced after Grady walked into owner Ken Nash's office one day to show him the lengths he had to go to get replacement tubes. The tube he showed Mr. Nash was stamped "Made in USSR". I never saw the replacement transmitter and don't remember what it was. In its last years, the Medford tower was used for nighttime ham radio experiments in the 160-meter (1800 KHz) band, Grady having built a custom matching network for a friend of his, Michael J. Klein, who was a ham.

WBMS did indeed start a short-lived FM at 104.1, in 1947, but it went dark in 1949.? That happened to a lot of the first wave of FM stations in the late 1940s-- most Americans were more interested in buying a television, rather than buying an FM receiver, and few of the early FMs were able to find enough of an audience to survive. -- Donna L.

Until then, the master control operators airchecked the day's programming on cassettes - left channel was air monitor, right channel was pre-delay program. The tapes went into a closet in the hallway and were reused after a year. The only material from that era (1991-96) that I know for certain was preserved is the stuff I grabbed for my own collection or saved for awards entries.

Actually, it's pretty obviously a matter of contract. Copyright law would say that the show as a whole is a "work made for hire" -- unless the contract between the participants and the station specifies otherwise. Other law (I don't think Massachusetts has personality rights, BICBW) and other contract terms might give the talent more say, or residuals, for rebroadcasts. In the case of a call-in show, I have no idea what sort of legal precedents might exist as far as callers go. The guests will presumably have been asked to sign a release, but I have no idea what rights (beyond immediate broadcast) the station might claim in the content originated by random people on the phone whose only compensation was hearing their voice on the radio. I bet this has been litigated with respect to at least one nationally syndicated talk show. -GAWollman
