Courtesy City of Mason The big ones are gone. The huge trees which lined the driveway to WLW-AM's tower and transmitter were removed this week to make way for a $30-million retail and office complex along Mason's booming Tylersville Road corridor. Restaurants, office buildings, a public storage business, car wash, daycare, bank and convenience store with gas pumps are planned around the iconic diamond-shaped radio tower and transmitter building on the 27 acres. Workers chip tree limbs into mulch near the WLW-AM tower site entrance. Credit John Kiesewetter WLW-AM, which has promoted itself as "The Big One," will continue to use the historic Blaw-Knox tower, only one of six in the U.S., and the transmitter building which housed the 1934 one-of-a-kind 500,000-watt transmitter. A fence will be built around the iHeartMedia's transmitter building, the adjacent red brick house and a guard tower in the center of the property. A smaller tower to the east of the transmitter, and the big tower, also will be fenced in.

Ruth Nichols wasn’t afraid. Not since her first ride in a biplane in 1919, when the pilot did loop-de-loops to terrify her. She conquered her fear and began a career as an aviatrix with the singular purpose of being the best. In the years following Charles Lindbergh’s historic transatlantic flight in 1927, courageous female pilots were in a drive to out-fly one another in the race to be the first woman to repeat Lindbergh’s feat. Aviation was still in its infancy. Pilots were daredevils, flying by the seat of their pants, to go faster, further, higher than ever before using shockingly unsophisticated machinery.

It wasn't Cincinnati's first radio station, but WLW-AM is still the biggest. Cincinnati industrialist Powel Crosley, Jr. began broadcasting WLW-AM over a 20-watt station from his College Hill home on March 2, 1922 – which means that the station is entering its 100th year today. Credit Courtesy WLW-AM WLW-AM wasn't Cincinnati's first commercial radio station, but it is the oldest surviving station from the 1920s. WMH was operated by the Precision Instrument Co. from Dec. 30, 1921, to January 1923. WMH was sold to Crosley and merged into WLW, says Randy Michaels, the former WLW-AM programmer and Jacor/Clear Channel executive who is the best radio historian I know.
Sarasota Opera returns with a ‘Happy Deception’ A new Sarasota Opera season gets underway this weekend with the opening of Rossini’s one-act comic opera “The Happy Deception.” Soprano Hanna Brammer stars as the Duchess Isabella, who disappears and washes ashore in a small mining town, where she is taken in and cared for by a kindly miner, played by bass/baritone Alexander Charles Boyd (Brammer’s real-life husband). Tenor Christopher Bozeka plays her grieving husband, Duke Bertrando. The company also includes bass Joshua DeVane and baritone Joseph Beutel. Artistic Director Victor DeRenzi leads a smaller-than-usual orchestra and Martha Collins is the stage director. The production kicks off a four-show season that runs through April with shorter and more intimate productions to allow for social distancing and enhanced safety protocols. “The Happy Deception” will be presented live in the Sarasota Opera House for six performances through Feb. 25, and will later be made available for home streaming.
