Never heard of WHAS - AM having any other frequency than 840 Kc/s .
I remember before WAKY-AM came on the air the Callsign was WGRC.
Still remember hearing their on the hour infomercial "The clock on the wall
goes tock tick tock and now the time is ___ O'Clock , __ O'Clock, __ O'Clock".
And during the repitition of __ O'Clock , the sound of a Coo-coo Bird chirping
Coo-coo, Coo-coo, Coo-coo.
The __ part was the hour number spoken as the Coo-coo chirped .
