Ed Winton organized the transition from Hillbilly music on WGAY (1050) to Beautiful Music. Connie B. Gay was a musician and prosperous producer of Hillbilly music acts. He acquired stations in Silver Spring, Maryland, and in West Virginia. The beautiful music era opened with WGAY (1050) being renamed WQMR (Washington's Quality Music Radio). WGAY-FM (99.5) simulcast WQMR in stereo, at a time when few households had FM receivers. The pair moved from a tiny, art deco building on Kemp Mill Road in Wheaton to the World Building in Silver Spring in 1966 where state-of-the-art fishbowl facilities graced the top floor well into the 1990s. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.75.112.235 ( talk) 15:26, 4 July 2009 (UTC)
- The following discussion is an archived discussion of the proposal. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. No further edits should be made to this section.
Looks like this was already moved to another name, so with no consensus here closing the discussion. Vegaswikian ( talk) 01:06, 11 February 2010 (UTC)
WZAA → WTOP — WZAA was renamed to WTOP on February 1. The previous WTOP page has been moved to WTOP (disambiguation), so this page needs to be moved to WTOP to replace the redirect. — Robster2001 ( talk) 14:27, 2 February 2010 (UTC)
- Oppose I don't think I agree with the dab. page move given the number of established articles that share the name, in particular WTOP-FM. I don't believe this station is likely WP:PRIMARYTOPIC. In December WZAA received 255 hits [1], while WTOP received 1004 hits [2] and WTOP-FM received 1243 hits [3]. I would suggest that the dab. page be returned to it's previous location and that this article be renamed WTOP (AM) (the more common convention) or WTOP-AM.-- Labattblueboy ( talk) 20:44, 2 February 2010 (UTC)

I am not sure that WKDL was owned by Disney, since [Radio Aahs] was a direct competitor. Should the article mention Radio Aahs? Is there a source for the Disney ownership? Yakatz ( talk) 03:17, 3 February 2010 (UTC)
