- WRNG (Ring Radio, original home of Neal Boortz who started there in 1969) and WREK both came on the air the previous year. WREK's original power, IIRC, was 10 watts, and WRNG was a daytimer until about 1980 when they opened their 8-tower array in Peachtree Corners.
- I'm surprised that WPLO is not listed as having the "Town & Country" format like WYNX, since WPLO pioneered the new, more urbane, less cornpone country format.
- WQXI-FM and WAVO-FM had recently been allowed to change their callsigns from WKXI and WAVQ, respectively. They originally had to have different callsigns from their AM sisters because the cities of license were different.
- WPLO-FM "Progressive 103.3" was being run by Ga. State students in the days before WRAS and during the time the FCC would not allow AM/FM simulcasts (so Plough couldn't simply put WPLO-AM on it). They were Atlanta's first AOR station, preceding 96 Rock by about 6 years. As soon as the FCC dropped that rule, Plough (yes, the Plough in the Schering-Plough drug company) kicked out the students and put WPLO-AM on it, until they flipped to a disco format as V-103.
