WBBZ (AM)

[3] Federal Communications Commission (FCC) records list WBBZ's "Date First Licensed" as September 9, 1925.

In early 1924 Noble B. Watson in Indianapolis, Indiana, was issued a license for a new station with the sequentially assigned call letters WBBZ.

WBBZ reportedly made its first Ponca City appearance sometime in 1927, when Carrell associate Harry Kyler brought the station to town for a week-long run at the Poncan Theatre.

[1] In May 1928, the recently formed Federal Radio Commission announced it would soon end the licensing of portable facilities, and the stations were notified that they would be deleted if they didn't find permanent homes.

She in turn made arrangements in 1948 to sell the station to the Ponca City Publishing Co., which was finalized early the next year.
