History

WLAG's first license was granted on May 5, 1941.[2] From 1941 to 1987, the station was owned and managed by Edwin Mullinax.[3]

(The WLAG call sign had been used by other broadcasters. From 1922 to 1924, it was used for the precursor to WCCO in Minneapolis, Minnesota, one of the Upper Midwest's most notable broadcasters.)

gollark: What am I *meant* to do, design my own binary format or something?
gollark: Hmm, dictionaries are quite a good idea.
gollark: https://lib.rs/crates/rustc-hashI love how rustc does bizarre microoptimizations like using somewhat faster hash functions for its hashtables but still manages to take ages to compile anything.
gollark: Hmm. The incremental blob I/O thing requires you to preallocate however much size you'll need. Troubling.
gollark: My backups are also not on a fast disk, see.
