[Swprograms] Regional SW station owner signs off for good

["Richard Cuff" <rdcuff@xxxxxxxxx>]

>From Scott Fybush's Northeast Radio Watch:

"And we note the passing of a Keystone State broadcaster whose
controversial actions provoked a lawsuit that will be studied by
constitutional law scholars for many decades to come. The Rev. John
Harden Norris owned a small empire of religious stations in Red Lion,
near York - WGCB (1440), WGCB-FM (96.1), WGCB-TV (Channel 49) and
shortwave station WINB.

<edit>

"Norris had founded WGCB(AM) with his father, the Rev. John M. Norris,
in 1950, adding the FM signal in 1958, followed by WINB in 1962 and
WGCB-TV in 1979. The radio stations were sold in the late nineties
(they're now in secular hands under Cumulus, as WGLD and WSOX-FM), but
Norris remained president of WINB and WGCB-TV until his death last
Sunday (Sept. 28). Norris was 88."

I have never WINB up in Allentown, but perhaps those further afield
might want to keep an eye on its frequency(ies)  (is it even still on
now?) for changes.
