WOR (AM) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
WOR began broadcasting on February 22, 1922 using a 500 watt transmitter on 833 kHz from Bamberger’s Department Store in Newark, New Jersey. WOR radio was started by Bamberger in an effort to sell more radios. The broadcast studio was located on the sixth floor. The radio station was included as part of the sale to R.H. Macy Co. in 1929, and Bamberger Broadcasting Service became a division of the company. WOR-FM began broadcasting in 1948 simulcasting the AM programming. WOR-TV, Channel 9 signed on the air on October 11, 1949. Macy’s/Bamberger’s sold the WOR stations to the General Tire and Rubber Company in 1952.
