History	The origin of this frequency can be traced back to W75NY, which went on the air on 11/1/42 on a frequency of 47.5MHz; its owner was the Metropolitan Television Corp. On November 1, 1943, the call letters changed to WABF, and in 1946 the station moved to 98.5 on the new FM dial, moving again to 99.5 in 1947. WABF went off the air in October, 1953. The frequency was revived in June, 1955 when WBAI signed on as a music station; owner Lewis Schweitzer of Broadcast Associates, Inc. donated the station to the Pacifica Foundation in January, 1960.
