| Unanswered ?? about WGRC/WLIR - that "other" stationNovember 23 2004 at 6:32 PM | Tom Daniels | |
| As indicated in several other posts that explain the "history" of Rockland's other radio station (which, ironically, is the SURVIVOR at 1300AM), there were several separate "lives" of the station up to its present existence.
I was a part of the WGRC/WLIR staff since 1981. In that time I saw the station come and go twice...and when I say "GO," I am referring to everything the station would need to operate.
When the station shut down on March 17, 1986, the studios in Spring Valley (opposite the post office) were quickly locked up. Shortly after that, everything inside that building that was related to the station "disappeared." Nobody I have spoken to seems to know what became of that equipment (originally the WKQW studio equipment - boards, turntables, tape decks, mikes, you name it!!)
Later, when the station went to all-Jewish radio -- and back again, equipment once again did a vanishing act. Sure, there was a new transmitter connected to an old tower array -- but what good is a radio transmitter without a studio and the equipment it demands??
My question is ths: Does ANYONE know what happened to the equipment that was a part of WGRC/WLIR?
