Please understand that WKBW Radio is no longer a radio station in Buffalo. At the time of sale WKBW-AM became WWKB-AM radio. Recently they have tried to link themselves with the former WKBW radio for baby boomer rating purposes. A tribute site to the former WKBW-AM radio is: www.wkbwradio.com

I corrected a few mistakes on this page. First, neither WWKB (nor any other US AM radio station) has a 100,000 watt transmitter. The legal maximum is 50,000 watts.

Secondly, the link to DJ "Jackson Armstrong" is completely false, because it links to some Canadian historian and actor. The DJ's real name is John Larsh, and he began using the "Jack Armstrong" alias in Cleveland at WIXY in 1966. Originally, Jack Armstrong was a copyrighted name for the DJ in the evening time slot, and referred to the 1930s radio serial "Jack Armstrong, the All American Boy."

When Larsh left the station in 1967 to join a competitor, he could not use the name "Jack Armstrong" because of the copyright. He instead began calling himself "Big Jack" and later, "Jackson W. Armstrong" to taunt WIXY and their copyright. That is where the mistaken reference in this article came from. He has used the alias "Jack Armstrong" ever since he began working at WMEX in Boston in 1968. -- Elaich 04:31, 18 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Is there a source for the "Well Know Bible Witness"? The story as I have always heard it is that it stood for "Well Know Bible Works", which alas, I have no source for.--68.69.67.94 22:44, 11 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I have no source for that, but i know for a fact that channel 7 has aired numerous pieces on occasion, generally milestone anniversaries, stating that it was well known bible witness.
