East Liverpool, Ohio is an old pottery town on the banks of the Ohio River.  
The eastern border of the town is the Pennsylvania state line.  West Virginia 
is across the Ohio.

The town once had 2 AM stations.  One went silent decades ago.  The other has 
survived for 57 years.  The facilities of WOHI-AM were once featured in the 
RCA magazine.  As a kid it was my local station.

The localism is now a thing of the past.  But as the following articles point 
out, the stick is still there.  It can't be moved.
