DeKalb's Radio Station WLBK, 100 Years Ago

Same source as the last two posts.

1923, 100 years ago.

"Know  Your DeKalb Today presents 'Station WLBK, the Friendly Voice of Northern Illinois.' 

"That's the salutation and signoff for DeKalb's newest medium of entertainment, education and information.  It's a month old now, having first gone on the air December 8, and the novelty has somewhat worn off.

"It is beginning to get that comfortable, settled feeling of 'belonging,' of being a part of DeKalb."

It is still around.  WLBK, AM 1360 and FM 98.9.
