Events

  • 8 January – CBS purchases New York City radio station WABC from the Atlantic Broadcasting Company.
  • 10 January – WTFF (The Fellowship Forum, a station formerly owned by the Ku Klux Klan) in Mt. Vernon, Virginia (today WFED) changes its call letters to WJSV. While the call letters were claimed to stand for "Jesus Saves Virginia," it actually stood for James S. Vance, a Grand Wizard in Virginia and publisher of the station's owner, "The Fellowship Forum" (a shell organization for the Ku Klux Klan). Vance arranges an affiliation deal with CBS Radio, which also involved operations and programming for WJSV.
