WCSO (AM)

[3] First receiving experimental license 8XAK earlier in 1922,[3] Wittenberg professor E. O. Weaver and several of his students constructed the 1,000 watt transmitter in advance of signing on, and programming was presented by the college's Speech and Drama Department.

[1] As part of a major reallocation under the provisions of the FRC's General Order 40, on November 11, 1928, WCSO was assigned to 1380 kHz on a timesharing basis with KQV in Pittsburgh.

[8] George A. Richards, Leo J. Fitzpatrick and P. M. Thomas—owners of WJR in Detroit—incorporated the WGAR Broadcasting Company in order to establish "Cleveland's fourth radio station".

[11] The WGAR Broadcasting Company took over ownership of WCSO on September 26, 1930,[3] later recognized as a casualty of the Great Depression;[1]: 41  WFJC was acquired seven days earlier.

[12][13] WCSO made its final broadcast on October 11, 1930, after coverage of the Wittenberg Tigers-Washington & Jefferson Presidents football game[14] and its license was formally deleted at the end of the month.

Wittenberg College 's Carnegie Science Hall in Springfield (pictured here in 1911) was the first home to WNAP/WCSO, one of two forerunners to today's WHKW. The station's towers were located in front of the hall. [ 1 ]
