WBUZ (1570 AM, "1570 The Buzz") is a now-defunct radio station that was based in Fredonia, New York. The station was privately owned by Henry Serafin. ==History== The station first signed on the air on August 1957 under the ownership of permittee Louis W. Skelly, who received the permit to build the station on August 27, 1956. Studios and offices were located at 15 East Main Street in Fredonia. The station operated at a daytime-only power of 250 watts. Skelly, a native of Austintown, Ohio, sold the station to Dunkirk-Fredonia Broadcasting, Inc., which also owned the Dunkirk-Fredonia Observer newspaper. The transaction was finalized on January 1, 1959. On April 4, 1963, the FCC granted permission to move the station to 2 West Main Street in Fredonia. The station would remain at this address until July 6, 1973, when a fire destroyed the building, prompting a temporary relocation to 60 West Main Street, and then 27 East Main Street after a permanent studio location could be obtained. Later in September of that same year, the station received pre-sunrise authorization to operate at 90 watts from 6am to local sunrise. Catocin Broadcasting Corporation, a company owned by Washington D.C. Communications attorney Lauren Colby and Henry Serafin, purchased the station on March 12, 1973. Five years later, Colby's interest in the company was acquired by Serafin, who became the sole stockholder. WBUZ relocated its studios and offices in 1985 to 136 Clinton Avenue in Fredonia, where it would remain for its duration. By the end of the decade, the station received authorization to operate at night with a limited power of 143 watts. Catocin, under Serafin's control, maintained ownership until the station ultimately fell silent after its license was canceled by the FCC on June 1, 1991. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「WBUZ (defunct)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
