| | A selection from a decade of visits to tower and studio sites in the Northeast and beyond |
 | | For thirty years, from the summer of 1957 until 1988, radio listeners across the Northeast knew that some of the best top-40 radio around was to be found at the top of the dial, at least after dark: the 50,000 watt "Friendly Giant" known as WKBW, Buffalo, at 1520 on the dial. |
 | | WKBW was already at the Big Tree Road site long before its top 40 era began; in fact, by the mid-thirties WKBW (then on 1480) was already part of the mighty BBC. |
 | | Even as competitors, WKBW and WGR shared this site through their glory years; all the while, new housing developments sprouted in what had been farmland all around the site. |
