- ABOUT US
- Accent Music Service was started in 1965 by Mr. Paul Smallen, the owner of two radio stations, WEOK & WPDH. It was used as another profit generator to help offset the cost of the radio transmitting equipment. In those early days, Muzak was broadcast on a sub-carrier frequency of the FM signal. In fact the FM transmitter was kept on at night primarily to fulfill the night requirements of the Muzak customers (no overnight DJ’s)! The original Accent office was above a barber shop on Main Street in Downtown Poughkeepsie. The name was chosen because of its obvious music reference and more importantly, it would appear at the top of the listings in the yellow pages.
