Ohio Radio and TV Station Photos from the John in Montana Collection
The Ohio radio and TV stations photos from the John in Montana collection are listed in alphabetical order by call letters.
WABQ: The WABQ call letters were made famous when the station was in Cleveland on 1540. That station is now WWGK. 1460 Painesville started out in 1956 as WPVL. In 1984 the calls became WQLS and then WBKC in 1986. They have been WABQ since 2006. In 1959 new studios were built at 713 Fobes Street which was changed to 1 Radio Place. These photos from 2010 show the 1 Radio place street sign. The street is actually a small access road to get to the studios behind other housing.
The building is no doubt not in the same condition as when built in 1959 as seen in this photo from 2010. WABQ uses a four tower antenna array as seen in these photos from 2010.
