Talk:Holy City, California

KFQU
NOTE: Records from the U.S. Department of Commerce's Radio Division, forerunner of today's Federal Communications Commission, show that the station received its first broadcasting license on June 14, 1924, and went on the air from Holy City for the first time on July 7, 1924. The KFQU call letters were issued sequentially by the Radio Division and, hence, are not "deliberately obscene." KFQU was not the second radio station in the state; in fact, there were dozens of licensed commercial radio stations in California by 1929. Fourteen of the first 25 stations to receive licenses from the Radio Division in 1921 were located in the state, six of them in the San Francisco Bay Area alone. KFQU made its last broadcast in December 1931, and had its license renewal denied in the U.S. Court of Appeals on January 11, 1932. (Source: Bay Area Radio Museum.)
