| Notes |
- Radio Station WPCH - 810 AM, Hoboken The origins of this station date back to July 15, 1924 when it signed on as WFBH, owned by the Concourse Radio Corp., on 1100 AM, sharing time with New York stations WRW and WEBJ. Studios were located on the ground floor of the Hotel Majestic at Central Park West and 72nd St, with the transmitter on the roof of the hotel. A typical day's schedule consisted mostly of "potted palm music," including occasional recitals by the Majestic String Ensemble. One program that got the station in trouble was "Health Talk," which was sponsored by the House of Health organization, operated by Dr. Leonard Lincoln Landis. However, it was not sanctioned by the New York Medical Society or the Hotel Majestic. It got to the point that the hotel would shut down the station's power when the show was scheduled to be on. After many court battles, the station was able to stay on, however, by the autumn of 1926, WFBH was sold to George F. George (the professional name of clothier George Sultzbach) d/b/a the Peoples Broadcasting Co. and was renamed WPCH on November 6, 1926. [1]
