WPTR

Albany, New York's AM 1540 WPTR was on the air from 1948 to 1995 and again from 2000 to 2004.  The call letters stood for original license holders the (W) Patroon Broadcasting Company.  They were the first full-time Top-40 station in the Capital District beginning in 1957.  They flipped to Country in 1980 and later tried various News, Talk and Sports formats with poor results.
