One indicates that certain FCC licenses of ten radio stations were held up and WJLD, WJLN was one of them in Alabama. One of them in, I should say, was in Birmingham. That was WJLD.

WJLD, WJLN Birmingham, which had 23 full time employees, 10 blacks and 10 women in ‘71 and 21 full time, 9 blacks, 5 women in ‘72, they were cited for a decline in blacks and women. Now that’s interesting that the license would be held up for a slight variance like that. Today it probably wouldn’t be noticed, but back then it was very close to the Civil Rights Act being passed and the ERA Women's Movement was getting underway nationally.
