One singer who stopped at WANB was Bobby Vinton from Canonsburg, Pennsylvania who was plugging "High Steppin Majorette" a couple of years before he had the first of many hits including "Roses Are Red" and "Blue Velvet".

One of the notable shows in the early days of the station was "Trading Post" where local townspeople could call in and advertise their household goods for sale.

In the 1960s, the final hour of the station day was called "Serenade to Sunset" and consisted of playing full instrumental albums from such artists as Percy Faith, Mantovanni, and the like.

In 1970, the 250-watt station was purchased from Pattison and his board of investors, by Arnold W.(Abe)Albright and Richard Glenn Klopsch, principals in AKZ Inc. Albright, a former News Director with the "Group W" Westinghouse Broadcasting Company and NBC affiliates including KDKA in Pittsburgh and WIND in Chicago, and Klopsch, a newscaster and radio personality, revamped the struggling station by expanding the local market.

Frustrated by the restrictive daytime license and 250-watt transmitter, Albright began the process of applying to the FCC (Federal Communications Commission) for an increase in power.

Strawberry proposed using his connections at other Government agencies to lobby the FCC for approval to increase wattage power and further expand market coverage.

WANB was joined by a simulcast FM sister station on April 21, 1978; enabling listeners to enjoy local radio service after the AM was forced to leave the air at sundown.

With its increased capacity, the station now covered Greene and adjacent counties 24 hours a day and the signal reached a significantly expanded advertising market.

Pushed out of ownership in the spring of 1984, General Manager and co-owner Abe Albright sued Ken Strawberry in County Court alleging an unfair division of assets and essentially a hostile takeover of WANB radio.

Loeper, after acting as general manager of WANB for many years, left the station in 1990 to become the minority partner in JJG Communications, which purchased Washington County competitor WKEG.
