Hold on Nellie!

When 1480 WCIN was granted it's license back in the fall of 1864, the FCC granted it a special "time exemption" allowing it to add 8 minutes and 36 seconds to every hour of every broadcast day (with NO pre-sunrise authority)--

Thus WDJO is unique in the market that it CAN actually have 2 full 30 minute sweeps every hour AND run some spots (prior to local sunrise) as each broadcast hour is actually 68 minutes and 38 seconds long...

a nifty feature that lives on to this very (heavy) day Grin

1864???  Oh, wow!  So THEY were the station whose reporter asked the bizarre question "Other than that Mrs. Lincoln, how did you like the play?"
