Name of the parent Company was The Baltimore Radio Show Incorporated, 7 St. Paul St.
This station started as WEAR in 1922. Broadcasting on 1300 AM, it later changed its call letters to WFBR. The station was said to have produced radios first "man-on-the-street" interviews in the 1930s. I don't know much about WFBRs role in the golden age of radio. Wikipedia says it was a CBS-affiliated Top 40 station with strong news and sports commitments by the 1960s.  WFBR called itself Mad Radio in the 1970s, airing what appears to be a strongly personality-driven music format.
The station was the
Baltimore Orioles
flagship station from 1979 to 1986. WFBR moved from Top 40 to an Adult Contemporary format by 1982. It started adding talk shows in 1984 and switched to a news/talk format in 1986. Infinity Broadcasting bought the money-losing station in 1988 and flipped it to an oldies format. Many staffers moved to WCBM-AM, which adopted WFBR old news/talk format. Oldies flopped on WFBR, and the owners dropped the format in 1990.
WFBR simulcast the soft adult contemporary sound of its sister station, WLIF-FM.
Later, it became WJFK-AM, simulcasting Washington talk station WJFK-FM to the audience in Baltimore. That simulcast brought Howard Stern to Baltimore.
WJFK became WJZ-AM in 2008 and now broadcasts an all-sports format on 1300 AM

About Us
Md Architectural Rescue is a different type of recycling company. We have operated in
Baltimore
and surrounding areas since 1996. After starting out rescuing fireplace mantles and cast iron door locks from construction dumpsters, we have opened our eyes to may types of waste that are often over looked and fall through the cracks. Our focus is and always will be vintage items of the highest quality. But with our eyes now open we put a lot of effort in bringing you high end collectibles from every industry available and at a very reasonable price. All our items are salvaged and are for the most part American Made. One week we could be in an old School, Brewery, Factory, and the following week at a  Shipyard or Power plant, you just never know. Also, one day we may be removing Vintage lighting, the next day Signs and Vintage blueprints and the following day cleaning out a machine shop or high end parts room. We literally have NO idea what we have coming around corner, so make sure you add us to your favorites and check back often.
We also run two additional stores. If you are looking for unique and interesting glass pieces, check out our sister site
