Commentary: A certain anniversary lacking public acknowledgement (specifically the eightieth anniversary of the first regular broadcast day for a certain radio station related to southwest Alabama formerly called WKRG-AM (later called WNTM-AM, then called WPMI-AM, and then called WNTM-AM again by the time of this writing))

(note: quotation of a certain Alabama Broadcasters Association biography of the founder of the radio station mentioned in the name of this commentary (Kenneth Rabb Giddens))

"Kenneth’s interest in broadcasting peaked when buying radio advertisements for his Giddens & Rester theaters. Giddens and his family would start up Mobile’s new broadcast operation WKRG-TV, Inc. in 1946. Under Giddens’ direction, radio station WKRG went on the air on [Thursday] September 26, 1946, followed by WKRG-FM in 1947 [Thursday, October 16, 1947], and WKRG-TV on [Monday] September 5, 1955."
