Radio Cleveland

 A few things I came across while looking for something else. WHK was in this location until the mid-1970's.

The front of this building is mostly unchanged since the 1949 renovation. From Broadcasting, October 17, 1949.
 From Broadcasting, October 17, 1949. The coveted television license never materialized. The former Metropolitan Theatre, became known as the WHK Auditorium, and was an inexpensive place to stage a concert, although in somewhat of a dicey location. Today the auditorium is the Agora nightclub.
From Variety, February 7, 1951.
