WEAF (AM) - History

History

At one time, this station had the letters WAME and an adult standards format. Then-owners GHB Broadcasting switched the format to Sports Talk and changed the callsign to WQIS.

In 2006, Glory Communications Inc. purchased WEAF from Colonial Radio Group Inc., and the format was gospel music.

From 1922 to 1946, WEAF was the callsign of the radio station that became WNBC and the flagship station of the NBC Red network. This station is now known as WFAN (AM) in New York. In the mid-1970s, WEAF was the callsign of the current WPTI in Eden, North Carolina.

Famous quotes containing the word history:

    “What would we not give for some great poem to read now, which would be in harmony with the scenery,—for if men read aright, methinks they would never read anything but poems. No history nor philosophy can supply their place.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    “I cannot be much pleased without an appearance of truth; at least of possibility—I wish the history to be natural though the sentiments are refined; and the characters to be probable, though their behaviour is excelling.”
    —Frances Burney (1752–1840)

    “What has history to do with me? Mine is the first and only world! I want to report how I find the world. What others have told me about the world is a very small and incidental part of my experience. I have to judge the world, to measure things.”
    —Ludwig Wittgenstein (1889–1951)
