City of Newark/urban Era
In 1968 The FCC refused to renew Continental Broadcasting's license but pending an appeal they still continued to run WNJR which was profitable. The Soul format continued as well. In July 1971 Continental Broadcasting's license was officially revoked and the station was forced off the air on the 21st. The FCC though allowed the city of Newark to run the station and it signed back on a week later.

Famous quotes containing the words city, urban and/or era:
“It is said the city was spared a golden-oak period because its residents, lacking money to buy the popular atrocities of the nineties, necessarily clung to their rosewood and mahogany.”
—Administration in the State of Sout, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)
“The city is a fact in nature, like a cave, a run of mackerel or an ant-heap. But it is also a conscious work of art, and it holds within its communal framework many simpler and more personal forms of art. Mind takes form in the city; and in turn, urban forms condition mind.”
—Lewis Mumford (1895–1990)
“It struck me that the movies had spent more than half a century saying, “They lived happily ever after” and the following quarter-century warning that they’ll be lucky to make it through the weekend. Possibly now we are now entering a third era in which the movies will be sounding a note of cautious optimism: You know it just might work.”
—Nora Ephron (b. 1941)
