KWUN Radio, Concord
Studio/Transmitter Site
1981

KWUN
(1480 kHz.) first went on the air from this site near the Concord Naval
Weapons Station in November 1963. By 1978, the station moved its studios
from downtown Concord to the building shown here. The facility, located
at 300 Holly Drive (near Myrtle Drive), housed the studios and offices
of KWUN (1480 kHz.) until early 1993, when the building was
demolished and KWUN's five antenna towers were dismantled
after its owners lost their lease on the property. A subdivision of upscale
homes was
later built on the land. SOURCE: Tom Richard Collection,
