WGAR was a 50,000-watt blowtorch. That’s radio lingo for a station that didn’t have other stations interfering, and “the friendly station” could be heard in 38 states and a big part of Canada during certain times of the day. We gave them plenty to listen to as well. Every day part had a jock who put on a show like morning drive. Lots of interviews, impressions, jingles and a staff who could pull it off. An air of sadness prevailed, this being the last day on the air for WFJC... The radio commission has taken away the right to broadcast from this station, but there is one thing that never can be taken away from us—memories and fond recollections of the many pleasant hours spent in the studio at WFJC. We hold hopes that perhaps in the near future, Akron will be able to have and hold a downtown radio station. A few minutes before midnight, the AM/FM simulcast broke away and the voice of Mark Krieger came on and narrated the presentation. An extremely well put-together piece, with moments from the likes of alumni Don Imus and Jack Paar. It wound down as the clock edged toward midnight. Krieger came back on with a reminder that Cleveland's Country continued on 99.5 FM: "Won't you join us? ... This is W-G-A-R A-M Cleveland, Signing off." Silence. About five seconds' worth. The carrier dropped. About ten seconds of random junk. The carrier popped back on with a carted legal ID identifying the new station, walking all over Ronnie Milsap's "Smoky Mountain Rain". ...beyond these unimportant immediate results lie some future possibilities that are more ominous. If a network or station were permitted to formulate an editorial policy for or against a major party or major issue, it's hard to see how sacred cows could fail to creep into the news rooms. An editor, or even a recognized news commentator whose job was at stake, would think twice before broadcasting a news item that ran counter to his network known editorial policy. We have moved into a different era of broadcasting. These days of 12 different stations in a market with 12 different owners are over. Now, it's my mega-corporation against your mega-corporation. It's the same thing we're seeing in other businesses... the battles are between one company that owns six stations, and another company that owns six stations. Some of the happiest times of my life were in Cleveland, I met some of my best friends there. Actually, any style I have derives not from Benny or Hope, but from Maury Condon and Wayne Mack, two announcers at WGAR. Maury... had a fey, leprechaun outlook on the world. There's nothing worse than five calls in a row about the same thing. We're in the entertainment business. There's a misconception that talk shows are part of people's First Amendment rights. While other radio stations can operate from a calendar, we're going to operate from a stopwatch... we're going to move this station... we're going to make you believe in radio again.

dbo:abstract
WHKW (1220 AM) is a commercial radio station licensed to Cleveland, Ohio, and is known as "AM 1220 The Word" featuring a Christian format. Owned by Salem Media Group, the station serves both Greater Cleveland and the Northeast Ohio region. WHKW's studios are located in the Cleveland suburb of Independence while the transmitter site is in neighboring Broadview Heights. A merger of two separate radio stations in Akron and Springfield that were moved into Cleveland in 1930, this station spent 60 years as the first radio home of WGAR. First under the ownership of George A. Richards' Goodwill Station group, it became a core affiliate of the CBS Radio Network, the originating station for Wings Over Jordan and an early home to comedian Jack Paar. Eventually owned by the forerunner to Nationwide Communications, WGAR transitioned into a personality-driven adult contemporary format in the early 1970s, headlined by personalities Don Imus, John Lanigan, Norm N. Nite and Chuck Collier. Later featuring a country music format in the mid-1980s in an eventual combination with FM adjunct WGAR-FM (99.5), the station changed to sports radio in 1990 as the first radio home of WKNR. 1220 AM assumed WHK (1420 AM)'s callsign and Christian radio format on July 3, 2001, as the result of a complex radio station/intellectual property asset swap, and since 2005 has been known as WHKW. In addition to a standard analog transmission, WHKW programming is repeated over low-power Cleveland translator W245CY (96.9 FM) and streamed online.
