Receipt, Johnson Broadcasting Company

Title

Receipt, Johnson Broadcasting Company

Description

Box 4 Folder 33: "This is folder 33 which contains a receipt made out to WBMG-TV from Johnston Broadcast Company, WJLN. WJLD, WJLN-FM dated September 8, 1965 for engineering there. There’s a bill for solder, Coleman gas, and so forth. These were used for the digging up a ground system and the expense of a working lock which was changed. Interesting to see the hourly rates of engineers Ben Franklin, Jimmy Jones and Claude Gray. Found in the WJLD files. I believe Johnston Broadcasting may have either owned the WBMG building at one time or leased it to the new TV station."
