Editing WEPN-FM (section)

=== Experimental operations (1939–1941) ===
In the late 1930s, [[WOR (AM)|WOR]] (710 AM), then licensed to [[Newark, New Jersey]], and owned by the Bamberger Broadcasting Service, Inc., a division of [[Macy's|R.H. Macy and Company]], became interested in the newly developed technology of FM radio. In the summer of 1939, WOR engineers, working with Bell Telephone engineers, set up an experimental 1,000-watt transmitter in Carteret, New Jersey, with the call sign W2XWI. In June 1940 experimental operations were moved to 444 Madison Avenue in New York City, now operating under the call sign W2XOR.<ref>[http://www.durenberger.com/documents/W71NY.pdf "W71NY New York, N.
