VIDEO: Ed Lincoln’s Farewell – WGAL News Story; October 7th, 1992

In the history of WSBA few people could claim the tenure that Ed Lincoln had. Ed started at WSBA way back in 1951 staying with the station for a total of 41 years. In this exhibit, we present a news story written and voiced by reporter Sean Young and broadcast by WGAL-TV in Lancaster marking Ed Lincoln’s final broadcast. This is a rare and very interesting look into the WSBA control room when records were still being played. There are also some memorable names including Jim Horn, Jack Malloy and Curt Hart among others.

Let’s go back to October 7th, 1992 to say goodbye to WSBA Legend, Ed Lincoln.

WSBA Presents “The Parade” September 2nd, 1972

The Parade Logo

Simply called “The Parade”, WSBA radio put together a big Labor Day weekend event in Downtown Lancaster in 1972. The Parade drew thousands of people and features character balloons, many of which were used in the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade in Philadelphia.

Each balloon in the parade was sponsored and each sponsorship had a corresponding advertising package with WSBA radio. In this exhibit, we not only present some newspaper coverage of the event but we also have an opportunity to view some sales material used by the WSBA sales team to begin promoting the event to potential sponsors.
