This needs an update

I put in the bits I know, but I only know the thumbnail version. Here's the press release (dated jan 22, 2008, but they changed well before that) sent to http://www.atlantadunia.com/dunia/AnnounceMain.asp:

Spice Radio 1040 AM: Desi Radio Station We are proud to announce the launch of Atlanta's first and only all day, every day Desi Radio Station, Spice Radio 1040 AM WPBS. Tune to Spice Radio on 1040 AM weekdays for morning and evening drive time shows, reporting news, weather, and traffic, and great entertainment from the Indian subcontinent in the afternoons and weekends, including special editions of "Sangeet Ke Sitaron Ki Mehfil" by the legendary Ameen Sayani, Top 40 Countdown and Bollywood News and Gossip in syndication with Mumbai's top Radio Stations, along with news and music from Pakistan, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, and West Indies. Mark Premji Tel: 770-368-8886

The wording The radio station has been the original holder of the WPBS call sign since 1993. is misleading; the station may have been the primary holder of the calls in 1993, but not the original as other stations (most notably a Philadelphia Bulletin Station now operated by Clear Channel under some other callsign) have a much longer history of having used some form of the WPBS name.
