WWCA

Co-owners of WWCA included its chief engineer Vic Voss and the Burns family, operators of a Gary funeral home.

The station’s studios were moved from Hotel Gary to the fourth floor of the First Federal Saving and Loan Association building at 545 Broadway.

Thorne, though a resident of Michigan City, IN, hosted the mid-day Sound-Off program which had a large following and delivered expanded newscasts at noon and again at 5 PM.

Thorne left WWCA for a stint with WGN-TV, Channel 9, in Chicago, but later returned to the Gary station.

Residents of Gary, Merrillville, Crown Point, Hobart and other northwestern Indiana cities and towns depended on WWCA for local news and sports coverage.

In the late 1960s, WWCA air personalities joined the American Federation of Television and Radio Artists (now SAG-AFTRA).

Another WWCA personalities to leave for Chicago and eventually network air work was Frank Reynolds, then a news reporter.

Carter was better known in the area as "the hostess with the mostest" when she hosted a daily program for WJOB radio in Hammond, IN.

She was later with Chicago Public Radio WBEZ 91.5 FM and Radio-One Indianapolis AM 1310 "The Light" and 106.7 WTLC-AM-FM after the station was purchased by Willis Broadcasting.

It signed back on with Starboard Network's Relevant Radio Catholic talk and teaching format on November 26, 2003.
