A Devastating Look Inside An Abandoned 1940's Arkansas Radio Station. Explore # 108

I have never filmed in the USA before so I was thrilled to get together with ‪@AbandonedAtlasFoundation‬ and head out to Newport, Arkansas, USA and explore. Gage was kind enough to join us and give us a full guided tour of this historic place.
KNBY/KOKR radio station was built in 1949 and abandoned in 2004. So many things are left behind here. The roof has been leaking for years now. Sadly everything that has been left behind is rotting away. For years it operated as an AM station. Years later it operated as an FM station. In 2012 after 8 years the KOKR went back on air in a new building across the street operating as River Country 96.7FM. Thank you Gage for sharing the history of this place and being in the video.

Thank you Gage for showing us around and giving us the history on this place.

About me:
I have been exploring abandoned places since I was a child and now I would like to film the explores and share the videos with you.

My father took me to my first abandoned house when I was 7 years old. I remember going into the house and a old farmer came in and told us "we better watch out as the floors are all rotten and unsafe". Ever since that day I was hooked on exploring abandoned places.

If you have a location you would like to share with me or want me to explore for you please send me an email at [email protected] and I will give you full credit for the share in the description and during the video if you choose.
