Here’s a website of old TV and radio photos and text that Preservation Sound readers might enjoy:

Note that all of those photos were saved from a dumpster, and because the website owner was willing to spend some cash to have them scanned and then go to a lot of trouble putting together that excellent site, none of it was lost to history.

I just noted something interesting, hopefully some of the broadcasting old-timers will comment. Why did the Dallas-Fort Worth market have both K and W call letters for the TV stations? WFAA and KDFW, plus I think other K and other W stations? What are W stations doing west of the Mississippi?
