374:. The Yankee Network's chief engineer, Paul DeMars, had heard a demonstration of Armstrong's innovation, and encouraged Shepard to invest in it. Shepard agreed, pledging to spend the money necessary to build an FM broadcasting station that would serve greater Boston. Shepard saw FM as the solution to a common complaint of AM radio listeners: the signal often faded out unexpected, or noise from atmospheric interference made programs unlistenable. Frequency modulation broadcasting promised programs with excellent reception, that would also be static-free. In mid-1939, Paul DeMars arranged a series of local demonstrations in Boston so that the press and the public could hear the benefits of Armstrong's invention. On July 24, 1939, Shepard's new FM station,

Their grandfather, John Shepard Senior and business partner Henry Norwell founded Shepard-Norwell, a Boston dry goods and retail store, in 1865. That business later expanded to include a store in Providence, and the two companies became known collectively as the Shepard Stores in 1911. John Shepard III's father, John Shepard Junior, assumed operations that year, when John Sr. retired. By that time, the Shepard Store in Boston had become one of Boston's most popular
425:; the move was surprising to most members of the broadcasting community. Under the agreement he negotiated, Shepard stayed on as president and general manager of the Yankee Network and its twenty-one affiliated stations for five years. Meanwhile, in 1948, John Shepard Jr. died in Palm Beach, Florida after a long illness, at age 91. By this time, John Shepard III was also in poor health. He retired from broadcasting in early 1949, and died in mid-June 1950 from heart disease; he was 64.

In 1912, John Shepard III married Mabel E. Fletcher of Providence, with whom he had three daughters. By 1917, John III had worked his way up to a department manager at the Shepard Stores, becoming the third generation to go into management there. Meanwhile, his brother, Robert, became the manager of the Shepard Store in Providence.

personnel demonstrated radio equipment, sold ready-made sets, and let customers listen to music concerts from other stations. But
Shepard wanted to do more than just sell radios; he wanted to have a station of his own. He applied for a license, and on July 31, 1922, the new radio station gave its first broadcast. For its first several months, it was only known as the "Shepard Radio Station"; it was not until mid-September that the call letters "
388:, it cost John Shepard III a quarter of a million dollars to build the new radio station. Shepard understood that it might take a while for the public to be won over to FM, but by now, he believed in it, and was certain it was just a matter of time before FM became popular. As further proof of his faith in FM, Shepard invested in a second FM station, to be built in New Hampshire, with the transmitter atop

The Shepard station was typical of radio stations of the early 1920s: it featured a combination of music played by dance orchestras, performances by local vocalists, religious services, news headlines, and educational talks. In fact, WNAC was the first greater Boston radio station to broadcast a live church service, from the

The new facilities were also needed because of the growth of the Yankee Network; the Buckminster studios were more spacious, and thus more suitable for live broadcasts of radio dramas, or performances from big-band orchestras. In early 1934, Shepard also inaugurated the Yankee News Service, which used the slogan "News While It

In March 1942, Shepard opened six new, state-of-the-art studios next door to the

In late
