WHIZ

Fictional radio station in fictional Fawcett City, the home of announcer Billy Batson, the secret identity of comic book hero Captain Marvel.

The radio station is an integral part of the plot of his origin story in Whiz Comics #2 (February 1940). Batson gets a job there also. However, the call letters are not given until a later story.

Sterling Morris is the head of the Amalgamated Broadcasting Co. which owns the station.
