WAKR 1590 started on October 16, 1940. They employed a succession of announcers who would find greater success elsewhere, such as Alan Freed, Scott Muni and Art Fleming.
WAKR is still in operation today, and is an affiliate for broadcasting the Cleveland Browns, Cleveland Cavaliers, and Cleveland Indians.
The matchbook cover on which this shirt is based is most likely from the early 1950s.
