WWT (AM)

WWT was a radio broadcasting station in Buffalo, New York, licensed to McCarthy Brothers & Ford from March 25, 1922 until its deletion on October 2, 1922.

History
Although most early radio transmissions were in Morse code, Buffalo was the site of some early audio experiments, including a broadcast of election results by Charles C. Kilnek Jr. on November 2, 1920.

Effective December 1, 1921, the Department of Commerce, which regulated U.S. radio at this time, adopted regulations formally defining "broadcasting stations". The wavelength of 360 meters (833 kHz) was designated for entertainment broadcasts, while 485 meters (619 kHz) was reserved for broadcasting official weather and other government reports.

On March 25, 1922, McCarthy Brothers & Ford was issued a license for Buffalo's second broadcasting station, with the randomly assigned call letters WWT, transmitting on 360 meters. The station made its debut broadcast starting at 3:00 p.m. on Easter Sunday, April 16, 1922. In early July, the station was reported to have suspended operations for the summer. WWT was deleted on October 2, 1922.
