[1] The Hub City Broadcasting Company obtained a construction permit to build a new radio station on 1220 kHz in Hattiesburg on April 29, 1948.
[2] They had been granted the permit after changing their proposed frequency from 1230 kilohertz to 1220, a minor shift that required the new station to start out as a daytime-only operation.
[9] That event and lack of funding helped to scuttle the company's plans to build channel 35 in Marshall, Texas.
[13] The station also aired New Orleans Saints football and Ole Miss Rebels athletics in its final year;[14] it had previously dumped The Rush Limbaugh Show because of its cost.
[16] Holt blamed problems with the Tallahassee television station for causing financial drains that hurt the Hattiesburg radio operation.
[2] Blakeney Broadcasting, owner of WBBN, acquired the WHSY stations at bankruptcy auction, beating out two other parties with a winning bid of $450,000.
