Ahhh, and WCKY, Cincinnati, OH - actually located across the river in Covington, KY, I believe. Country music! and was reputed to sell mail-order false teeth, eyeglasses and "Autographed Pictures of Christ in the Clouds".

Correction: its XERF Ciudad Acuna, MX. Villa Acuna is no longer a village, it is now a city. They still broadcast but now it is owned by the Mexican Government. When I listened it was own by a church in Del Rio, TX.

I remember listening to Dr Demento in the 70s when I should have been sleeping. I don't remember the model but it was an old (even at the time) bake-o-lite chassis with vacuum tubes. It was my dad's from when he did shift work at an agar processing plant.
Dr. Demento was on a little bit of heaven 94.7 KMET in L.A. remember it well.

I grew up in rural northwest Pennsylvania and depending on atmospheric conditions could listen to WLS from Chicago; CKLW from Detroit and Windsor, Ontario; KDKA from Pittsburgh, WABC from New York and WOWO from Ft. Wayne, IN. I listened to them on an old cabinet radio the was over three feet tall, used tubes and even had short wave and a couple other bands on it.

When I was a kid, I used to be fascinated by getting radio station KOA from Colorado (Denver?) and KOB from Albuquerque late at night, and just fascinated that I could do that with a transistor radio, living in Los Angeles.
I also got into radio dramas because there was a flurry of info about Orson Welles War of the Worlds broadcast from 1938 (?), and I found CBS Radio Mystery Theater on my radio, and used to listen to it almost every night when I was a young teen (going to bed). It was a great listen, at least to me. Some great memories.
(In college, I got a copy of the Orson Welles War of the Worlds script and copied it by typing it out, to have for many years after, reading it and trying sometimes to make my own recreation of it. Wow.)

The Grand Ole Opry on a Saturday night on a battery powered radio in a western Iowa farm house illuminated by a kerosene lamp in the days before Ruddy Kilowatt and the R. E. C. brought us into the modern age.
