**I am forwarding this message from A.Searle at Minnesota News
Network**In the Minneapolis-Saint Paul market there are several stations
with W licensed to Minneapolis (on the west side of the Mississippi River) and
several others with "K" prefixes licensed to Saint Paul (on the east). Are
there other Big Muddy markets with a similar situation?

Here are the meanings for some Minnesota stations:

KSTP: (SainT Paul)
WCCO: (Washburn Crosby COmpany -- a milling concern which was the original
      owner)
WDGY: (Doctor George Young -- station founder)
WWTC: (Twin Cities)
WTCN: (Twin Cities Newspapers, original owner -- TV call given up, radio
       went dark)
KNOW: (Spells the word "Know." It's a public news and information station)
KDWB: (Doubleday Warner Broadcasting)
KUOM: (University Of Minnesota)
WMIN: (MINnesota)
KNUJ: (New Ulm Journal)
KLGR: (Linder Group Radio)
WLOL: (Land O' Lakes -- a dairy concern which used to own it. Station
      sold, call changed)
KMSP: (Minneapolis - Saint Paul --a TV call)
KXLI: (Another TV call with Roman numerals -- channel 41)
KBJR: (Bob J. Rich, owner.) Sation in Duluth but licensed to Superior
Wisconsin. Thus their legal ID says "KBJR, Superior television for the
Port Cities. :-(

There is an AM-FM combo in Grand Rapids Minnesota, KMFY and KOZY. I always
wanted to see a combo as WAQH-WCME {Average Quarter Hour and CuME} :-) :-)

WCAL: (CArLeton College, Northfield. It is a Lutheran school so
alternative meaning for call was proposed as "We're Calling All Lutherans."

In the mid 1970s I worked for an FM "Progressive" station in Duluth which
was WDTH (DuluTH) although some of the staff suggested it meant "With Dope
There's Hope." Unfortunately, some of them believed it.

Personally, I think with the proliferation of "Kisses", "Stars, "EZs",
"Cools" "Lites" and "Rocks" they just don't make call letters like they used
to.

     well seeing that in the adult 25-34 numbers group we do extremely
     good. I'd say that we're doing something right!!! You can't 
     deliver an audience to an advertiser if they're switching channels
     every 10-15 minutes, with us they know they can listen for a half an hour
     without interruption, so when we do stop down they actually listen.

    No, radio should be all commercials all the time so that when people
    want to buy something they can turn on the all-commercial channel 
    and hear who has the best deals!!!

Not flaming you but come on I'm coming at this from the radio standpoint and
you are obviously coming at it from the agency standpoint!!  People don't like
commercials!!
If station A has alot of listeners then buy that station, if you don't like
the way they play spots, then advertise elsewhere!!  We're sold out M-F and 
most of the weekend so we're doing something right!!

Maybe so, but for every person who tunes out Stern, there are -many- more
who tune him in.  The loss is minimal.

I have been in radio for 15+ years and the station I'm at now, I think 
has the right idea.  We play two clusters an hour just before 15 and 45 
and play 6 units in each so the sets can be and frequently are 6 minutes 
each. But we always let 'em know there's after the commercials how much 
music we're about to play so if they did sit through 'em, they know 
they've got 30 minutes til we stop the songs again!  Face it people heara 
commercial and they go away, it's a fact the music stops they tune away 
and when they come back it's usually 2 songs later or when the other guys 
play their spots so you gotta stop down strategically if the other guys 
stop at 50 you gotta stop down by 44 to beat them back to music before 
they hit their spots!!

Jim Grey picked up on a discussion on the familiarity of songs played on the
radio. I would like to add my own thoughts on it.

I think part of the problem with listeners' taste rests with the programmers.
As Jim wrote, PD's are afraid to do anything that isn't familiar. So the dear
listener ends up hearing a program in 1992 that has changed little since
1982.

Think about it; what is the most recent song you're playing? Ok, maybe you'll
have a Peter Gabriel or AC/DC or REM or U2 song in there. But by far and away,
the songs predate 1980.

It's no wonder they don't want to listen to new stuff. They are given the im-
pression that musicians since 1982 have produced nothing but rap and pop. Did
rock die with the Reagan years? Emphatically, NO!! I say again, rock did not
die with Reagan.

I am not advocating playing *only* new stuff. But I think back to the days
when I became aware of radio, and how the playlists then were a more balanced
mix of old and new. This was about 1965. Granted, the Beatles and the Stones
did much to energise this mix, with PD's having a gold mine of new material 
to play, and the listeners ate it up.

But now the challenge is to find the new groups. They're out there, you just
have to give them a chance. Hey you gave Herman's Hermits a chance, didn't
you? Why not listen to the Soup Dragons sometime? Or the Connells or the
Kitchens of Distinction? Or even Depeche Mode, they've been around now for
10 years!

IMHO, the so-called classic rock format should be scrapped completely. If I
*really* want to hear that old junk, I can either pull it from my CD or vinyl
library, or since I've heard it so many times, I can play it back in my head.
I don't need nostalgia trips. I remember courting an older girl while liste-
ning to Smoke on the Water, but when I hear SOTW today, I don't think of her!

If the classic rock format were around in 1965, those stations then would be
playing tunes from 1940. In 1940, you would be listening to Glenn Miller or
Artie Shaw or Woody Herman or the Lennon Sisters. Of course, they had those
stations in 1965, and they were known, to me anyway, as music my parents
would listen to. I don't know how youth today feel about it, but I guess few
of them care about Deep Purple or Pink Floyd.

This is not meant as a flame to anyone in the group. This is just something
I've felt when driving around and hearing the same trash from town to town.
Radio is so sanitised it's sterile; it's become little better than the satel-
lite programming that we so rightly savage herein. And the "Deep Cut" stra-
tegy simply perpetuates it.  Classic Rock is dead. It's time to move on.

It seems to me that the GE VP for whom WRGB was named was William R. G.
Baker. See, isn't it nice to have Three given names?

Other "meaning" calls: WCOD (FM) Richmond, became WTVR-FM, ....C)apitol of the
O)ld D)ominion (Virginia).

WTOP, Washington, at the TOP of your dial, 1500 kHz. Started as WJSV. Was that
Jesus Saves? As far as I know, they were never a religious station.

WRC, Washington's Radio Center. The WEAF/WJZ studios in New York were called
Radio Center, and NBC owned WRC as well.  WEAF became WNBC which became .....
WJZ became WABC 770 kHz. The original WABC, 880 kHz and owned by CBS, became
WCBS in the fullness of time.

Also, WFMD, Frederick, Maryland. WFRE(FM), their FM, FREe state (MD).

All the West Virginia Public Radio calls: WVEP (West Virginia Eastern Pan-
handle) Martinsburg, WVNP - WV Northern Panhandle (Wheeling), WVPN - WV Public
Network (Charleston), WVPG - ParkersburG, etc, etc.

WRTD, Richmond Times Dispatch (newspaper). This station on 1490, I think, went
dark before WW II.... Now that's REALLY reaching for it! Maybe it was on 1450,
since WLEE (Lee, Robert E, get it?) came on, on 1450, just after WW II.

All the WxMD, WxNC, WxSC, WxVA, as others have mentioned. I guess with the Post
Office two-letter state abreviations, there is a full set of these.

Ah, this may be why NBC was chosen, but the real reason for buying the
network was to control the amount and type of information found on
the news.  Especially related to defense spending, wars, nuclear
power, etc.  GE is so huge and so dirty that they needed their own

And, is that really his name?  He never says how he spells it on the radio and

The reason that WLUP is putting Howard Stearn on their AM should be
obvious: they own the station.  

Fact: Eventually Howard Stearn's show _will_ air in Chicago on some
	station. Anyone who read the last issue of R&R will agree
	the guy has marketing savvy.
====> No matter who is doing mornings on WLUP the station will lose
	some listeners to Howard Stearn.
====> If Howard is on some other station then WLUP will lose listeners

====> If Howard is on WLUP then people will still be listening to WLUP.

It's a premptive move on their part.  Yeah, it'll cost em about a
million a year for the show, but they would lose more than that in
revenue if they lost 2 points off the morning show numbers.

Sidebar: it's quite possible that the so called rivalry between Dahl/
	Meier and Howard will actually stimulate listenership to both
	stations.

This station has had in interesting history.  In the 70s it was WRBR, Rock
104 -- one of the coolest stations in the world, imo.  Then in the early
80s it became 103.9 WXMG, always playing 7 songs in a row! (yecch).  Then
it became CHR as Zip 104.  Last year, they changed their calls back to WRBR
and went classic-oldies, kind of that "good time oldies" stuff.

When I was a kid, I remember a TV commercial for the old Rock 104 that went
like this:  Fade in to a stereo receiver and speakers and hear some heavy
Led Zep tune blaring.  Then a boulder drops on the whole thing, crushing it.
Hear Voice-of-God speak:  "WRBR.  More hard rock."  I wish I were older then
to fully appreciate that station.  I think I was six or seven when that
commericial was on TV.

This was me, not Bill Pfeiffer.

As for what happened to the NBC radio network:  it was sold in its 
entirety to Westwood One sometime in the mid 80s.  I am not sure 
what sort of rights they hold to the NBC name.

In Chicago, the two NBC-owned radio stations were sold to two different
companies:  WKQX (FM 101.1) was sold to Emmis Broadcasting,  and WMAQ
(AM 670) was sold to Westinghouse.  WMAQ-TV (Channel 5) is still owned
by NBC, and has studios in the spanking-new NBC tower (complete with
peacock).

A couple from Seattle that weren't on that list:
KING AM/FM/TV: I think it may have something to do with King County
(which is where Seattle is), since the name of the family who owned it
from its inception until recently was Bullitt.

There used to be a top-40 station called KHIT-FM -- then they changed
the format to New Age and Jazz and called it KNUA.

KNDD 107.7 "The End" -- at the end of the dial, of course.

KPLZ 101.5 started out calling itself "K-Plus", but that passed after
a year or two.

Of course, there's KUOW -- an NPR station based at the University of
Washington, KPLU, another NPR station based at Pacific Lutheran
University, KUPS, a very small student-run station at Tacoma's
University of Puget Sound, KNHC at Seattle's Nathan Hale High School,

Subject: Ku Band Receiver

Hello out there!

If anyone can give me any information on this stuff, I will buy
   him/her lunch.  At Burger King.  For $2.00.

My roomate (a budding financial genuis) has leased a satellite system
   to get news about stocks and money markets and commodities.  The
   system consists of a satelitte dish, a data reciever, a tiny
   computer, and a video monitor.  The computer only lets you switch
   between pages of info and print the screens to a serial printer.
   It also lets you connect a computer to it to download the info
   automatically, provided you buy the $150-300 software.
   We set the dish up one night and pointed it at SBS-6 and the
   stuff came up on the screen.

OK.  My question is: Can I use the dish and reciever to get other
   kinds of info from satellites?  Like News services, Weather maps,
   Etc., Etc.

Here's the info I copied down:

Dish: Channel Master 28" dish

Receiver: Ku Band Data Receiver made for DTN (Data Transmission
          Network) by Zephyrus Electronics LTD. in Tulsa
          It has a coax input from dish down-converter and coax
          output to the computer.  Inside there was a sticker thus:
                            DTN
                            9600        7MHz
                            10.95       GSI
                            2.59375
          It also had a 12-switch DIP switch to set the frequency
          or channel set thus: 001100000111
          What Ku channels can this receive?  I saw some listed in
          my WRTH in the satellite section.
          In what form does the data come out of this thing?
          Any info on this receiver would be GREATLY appreciated!

Computer: Model D 4004 from Applied Micro Technology Inc.  Inside
          is a PROM to identify whose it is and what services it can
          receive.


That's all I know.  Any help on these would just make my month.

        Thanks Alot!   Happy Computing!  73's!
