| History | Boasting the oldest continuously-used call letters and the only remaining three-letter calls in the NY area, WOR first went on the air on February 22, 1922, broadcasting from Bamberger`s Department Store in Newark, NJ. The WOR studios moved to NYC in 1926 and the station settled in at 710kc in 1927. Bambergers/Macy`s sold the station to General Tire (later RKO-General) in 1952, which held on to the station until 1987. The current owner purchased the station in 1989. |
| Comments | The WOR morning show, "Rambling with Gambling", aired from March 8, 1925 until September 11, 2000. |
