 This improvement probably was in response to WHNY, a new FM sister station to WHLI in nearby Hempstead, WGBB’s first local competitor.Carman’s original tower was replaced with the current structure in the early 1980s.After Carman’s death, WGBB’s long-time sales manager Murray Evans took the wheel until the station was sold for $95,000 ($800,000 in 2012 dollars) to a group of Long Island businessmen.
