In 1960, the station was sold to the “Far East Broadcasting Company”, which changed the format to chiefly Christian religious programming. The station ceased operation in 1994, and its antenna field was razed soon afterward.
Fortunately, the transmitter house remains in excellent condition. It currently belongs to a wastewater treatment plant now located adjacent to the site. I believe it is now leased out as office space.
@[email protected] that is a truly glorious looking building.
If it housed the transmission gear, the walls may have been that thick to prevent explosions getting out rather than in!
