Calls stood for . Grebe. Grebe also owned WBOQ (see above) and two mobile unit stations: WGMU (a 1. Lincoln sedan operating on 6. WRMU (a maritime transmitter aboard the yacht MU- 1). Among the pioneering remote broadcasts on WAHG were yachting events and horse races (the latter service was said to have ruined business for some bookies).

In September 1. 92. Columbia Broadcasting System was looking for a full- time affiliate in New York. At the time, WOR refused to clear any additional time for the CBS network, so WABC stepped in to become the second affiliate. So, for a few weeks in 1. WABC was the CBS affiliate on Sunday, Tuesday and Thursday and WOR carried the rest of the days, but soon WOR dropped CBS completely. In November 1. 92.
Columbia offered to buy either of its New York affiliates and President William S. Paley negotiated with both Grebe and Bamberger (owner of WOR). While WOR's facilities were surperior, Paley chose the less- expensive WABC, and in December the Atlantic Broadcasting Company became a subsidiary of CBS. The sale price was $3. Also, around this time, WABC changed frequencies again to 8. AM. In July 1. 92. CBS and WABC moved into 6 floors of a new building at 4.
Madison Ave. The network would eventually occupy the entire building as well as one across the street and various other locations around town. The CBS contract provided affiliates with unsponsored programs free of charge all day long with the understanding that they would clear the time for all sponsored shows. It made sense for WABC to carry a good portion of the network feed. Soon, programs of purely local interest, including a few ethnic broadcasts aimed at Jewish and African- American listeners, were displaced by enjoyable but often undistinguished hours of music and talk for the national audience.
