Promotional Bumper Sticker circa 1965

WVWA is proud to have chosen as "tower of the week" by FYBUSH.COM. Our distinctive 90 foot Blaw-Knox tower has always attracted the curious. For years in the 1960s, families would make a day out of driving out in the station wagon on a sunny Saturday afternoon with a picnic lunch. Later, groups of young Westchesterites would gather to watch the expected nightly fracas in the parking lot, as WVWA fans would show up to meet legendary teen idol Johnny West. This love fest usually ended up a fist fight with one or more of the faithful. Staffers recall that Johnny always made it into work the next day, but usually wearing his large Ray-Ban sunglasses.
WVWA has had a number of chief engineers over the years, but we are proud to say that visitors tell us universally that they have never seen a station like ours.

the large amounts of computer EFI in the WVWA wireroom.)

RARE NEW FIND!
This was found in a suburban Westchester
garage by another WVWA fan. It is a recording taken directly from the
original tape cartridge that must have walked out of the WVWA studio during
a visit by a Boy Scout troop. This jingle song is from the late 1940s or
early 1950s and thus was aired before the "Nine Double O Radio" era. This
package was custom produced for WLAW (later WVWA) in early 1949, a couple of
years after AM900 signed on the air. No master tape has ever been found - so
this is rare indeed! Several radio station historians are pretty sure this
was a jingle used on the "Westchester Wakeup" morning show.
