KGVL banned and maybe burned The Beatles!

Evidence of the Ban:

The Associated Press (as printed in the The Victoria Advocate on August 16, 1966) reported, "Manager Leo Hackney of KGVL in Greenville said many teen-agers had asked him to sponsor a bonfire to burn Beatles records but no decision had been made on the matter yet. He said the pastor of the Park Street Baptist Church in Greenville had commended KGVL for its ban in his sermon Sunday."

Notes:

KGVL was a 1,000-watt station during the day with a 250w night time output.
