Is Encarta a reliable source? - Dravecky ( talk) 02:52, 20 June 2009 (UTC) reply

• "Mississippi: Communications". Encarta. Retrieved June 19, 2009. The first radio station in Mississippi, currently known as WFOR, began operations as WDBT at Hattiesburg in 1925.

• WDBT is listed as being first licensed in June 1924 to Taylor's Book Store in Hattiesburg ( "New Stations", Radio Service Bulletin, July 1924, page 3.) But it was deleted in April 1925 and never revived. ( "Strike out all particulars", Radio Service Bulletin, May 1, 1925, page 9.) WFOR wasn't authorized (as WRBJ) until March 1928, and was licensed to the Woodruff Furniture Co. ( "New Stations", Radio Service Bulletin, March 31, 1928, page 4.) Also, the FCC History Cards for WFOR don't mention any link to WDBT.-- Thomas H. White ( talk) 00:06, 3 March 2020 (UTC) reply

Lots of info on WFOR (AM), including some great stuff on Jimmy Swan. - Dravecky ( talk) 10:27, 5 November 2009 (UTC) reply
