WWKB 1520 kHz AM to Rebroadcast the WKBW 1968 Version of War of The Worlds
« on: October 31, 2018, 1800 UTC »
Tonight at 2200 UTC, WWKB 1520 AM will be rebroadcasting the WKBW's (original station ID) 1968 version of War of The Worlds, when space aliens attacked Grand Island New York. Since KB is a 50,000 watt station you should be able to hear the show up and down the east coast. 

0003 UTC - Capsule in a swamp discovered in Ontario, Canada by two hunters. Niagara Air Force Base put on alert .

Nice to hear a "WKBW" station id again. But, damn I lived in Tonawanda and went to Fantasy Island every summer and Kelly's Country Store for pictures with Santa every Christmas, well when I lived there. And now it is smoldering ruins. SIGH!
