March 27th, 1947 grand opening ad in photo section.
It was WAKR when I lived there, and I didn’t realize that they had later changed their call letters.
That’s true Ron. I just put the most recent info about the station lest this become more of an entry for the TV station than the theater. But for accuracy’s sake, it did open in 1953 as WAKR. They did switch the call letters to WAKC later down the line, though.
WAKR (not WAKC) was originally Channel 49. It moved to Channel 23 some time between 1965 and 1968, while I was living there.
