EPISODE 7 – Brass and Park – Radio stories from Waterbury and Bridgeport - Produced and Edited by Brandon Kampe

In this episode, we look at some of the radio stations in two of Connecticut’s other big cities – Waterbury and Bridgeport. We look at Waterbury’s radio stations, the family owned WATR AM and the FM which later became WWYZ, WWCO AM and the FM that later became WIOF, then WYSR, and then WMRQ. We also look at WBRY which was a popular AM station, which became WTBY and then WQQW but eventually went out of business. We also look at Bridgeport’s top station WICC – one of Connecticut’s oldest stations, and its onetime FM station WJZZ which was Connecticut’s first all-jazz station – it later became WPSB and then WEZN. We also look at competitor WNAB which survived for many years against WICC.
