WMBR (formerly WMIT) history and current events

[Bob DeMattia]

Actually, WMIT was the callsign they used for their carrier current
station. When they went to FM in 1961,
they were actually WTBS.   They changed from WTBS to WMBR in 1979 when a
certain fellow from
Atlanta wanted the calls for his UHF television station in Atlanta.
