The Brochure on the Gates Radio BC1-G AM/Mediumwave Transmitter that is transcribed in this post on this other Blog:
Season’s Greetings Advertisement By Cox Communications And WSB-AM And FM; In Front Of The Antebellum-Style Building That Also Housed WSB-TV.
This building has since been leveled; and in it’s place stands a modern Office Building that continues to house WSB-AM-FM-TV.

Following Up From The Earlier Post For As Much As I Dislike Hard Rock And Heavy Metal Music, I Must Report That A Disc Jockey At The FM Radio Station In Philadelphia That Has Gone On The Air As An Experimental FM Radio Station With The Call Letters W47PH In April, 1942; Was Later Reassigned By The FCC To Transmit It’s Signal At 44.9 Megacycles In March, 1943; And Was Also Assigned The W49PH Call Letters In The Process, Was Assigned The WIP-FM Call Letters In November, 1943; Was Sold Alongside It’s AM Parent WIP-AM To Metromedia In May, 1961; Metromedia Had Felt Compelled To Install A Progressive Rock Format At This Station, In Addition To WHK-FM In Cleveland, KLAC-FM In Los Angeles, And WNEW-FM In New York City; And Metromedia Would Change The Call Letters Of This Station To WMMR-FM In 1966, By The Name Of Pierre Robert; Has Recently Passed Away (As Of The Time Of Writing This Post); I Would Also Prefer If Metromedia, Incorporated Had Retained The Hybrid Adult Contemporary-Big Band And The Drake-Chenault Automated “Hit Parade” Formats Of WHK-FM/WMMS-FM, The Automated Middle Of The Road Format Of WNEW-FM, The Classical Music Format Of KSAN-FM, And The Hybrid Middle Of The Road-Big Band And Smooth Jazz Formats Of KLAC-FM/KMET-FM/KTWV-FM.
I, personally would prefer if Metromedia had instead retained the Full-Service Middle Of The Road format of WIP-FM/WMMR-FM; instead of installing the Progressive Rock format in 1968.
I do understand that while retaining the Full-Service Middle Of The Road format, for the time being, as of 1966; that Metromedia had changed the call letters of WIP-FM to WMMR-FM to install call letters that stand for “Metromedia-Radio”.
