WPOW (New York City)

The station was closed down to allow its shared-time partner, WNYM (now WWRV), to broadcast 24 hours a day on 1330 kHz.

[4] Radio owners on Staten Island complained that WBBR's religious programs and Bible studies, originating from a pair of 200-foot (61 m) wooden masts, were hard to tune out and blocked reception of other New York stations.

[2] In 1957, citing the ability to reach the faithful better through in-person contact and publications, the Jehovah's Witnesses sold WBBR to Tele-Broadcasters, Inc. of New York, for $133,000.

[9] In the decade, the group also owned a dairy at Long Branch, New Jersey, and a beef ranch at Lansing, New York.

[10] Tele-Broadcasters sold WPOW after two years to John M. Camp, owner of a religious advertising agency in Wheaton, Illinois, for $250,000.

He also set out to eliminate one of the two remaining time-share partners by buying WHAZ in 1967 and turning it into a religious station broadcasting to the Troy area,[13] operating during daytime hours only.
