KFAB Lincoln, NE, 1944

1944Jan31BCSeventy five years ago today, the January 31 issue of Broadcasting carried this ad for KFAB, then in Lincoln, Nebraska, and on 780 kHz.  As we noted earlier, KFAB shared the frequency with fellow CBS affiliate WBBM in Chicago, and the two stations coordinated their signals.

The station made the move to Omaha and to its present frequency of 1110 kHz in 1948.  The move allowed both WBBM and KFAB to boost their transmitter power to 50 kW.
