new design was created by Joseph E. Morse of Barboursville. Mr. Morse is a professional artist and a student of early Americana. He said he selected the Post Horn as a symbol because of its role in America’s past as the harbinger of news and information about the outside world. In the early days before the rails knit the nation together the Post Riders and stage coach drivers used the post horn to announce their arrival in a town. These men would then pass on to a gathering of citizens the news of the day. “In its own way,” Mr. Morse said, “WJMA performs this same service daily for thousands of listeners throughout the fivecounty area. Thus the post horn is an appropriate symbol for this expanded service of news and information to be offered by the combination of WJMA and WJMAFM.”
Interior remodeling to the WJMA studio-office building in Orange was carried out during the summer under general supervision of Bill and Roy Hager of Orange. The Hagers also installed the new FM transmitter and control room equipment.
WJMA-AM went on the air September 10, 1949. It has been owned by WJMA, Inc. since July 1961.
