I'll let you know when I figure out if there are no obstacles. I won't tell you what it is for free though.

Re: 99.3 wqan and 92.3 wbnz

He obviously needs to keep them on the air this time around, as this is a license renewal year for all Michigan stations and the window for notifications opens in matter of weeks. Perhaps because of the legal present entanglement with Blarney Stone, he may get a pass on WLDR, but the other two have ...

Re: The Fox soon WCMU

That $150,000 number certainly isn't aging well given the price WSRT received. This is looking more & more like a sub-$100k situation. Well, I happen to know someone who spoke with the current broker who rebuffed an offer of $75k, suggesting they would never entertain anything below $150k. At least...

Re: MGB went to the Sale Rack and found WSRT

Pretty obvious she was gonna make a play for 106.7 when she relinquished her majority stake in WKAD. Hope she does something good with 106.7! I'm surprised 106.7 went for less than half the price of 98.9. Not surprised by that price tag at all! Once the hand was tipped, everyone saw what was there ...

Montmorency Median Household Income $38,293.00 Grand Traverse Median household income $61,485.00 Emmet Median household income $54,055.00 And much of that household income in Montmorency County is generating via commuting for work in other counties.

Re: Omelette returns

92.5 lacks financial viability. It would be more valuable if it wasn't considered part of the market (it technically isn't as both its COL and transmitter site are in non-market Montmorency County) HH income average: $12,500 is really what future broadcasters are looking for... If your figures are ...

Re: What Does the Fox Say? Goodbye...

I tuned in to the signoff tonight. Nothing special at all. The way they shut the tower down was kinda strange though (at least the 92.5 tower). During the second to last song they played, the power slowly decreased until the station was almost completely buried in the static. At the time I thought ...

Re: Omelette returns

This is still a risk for midwestern. They are doing an awful lot to roll out the red carpet for Omelette including letting go of their northern country signal. That's a lot for someone who bombed out at The Bear. KLT was #1 in their male demographic across their entire dayparts in the last book. To...

Re: MacDonald-Garber's son gets full control of WKAD

There would be no reason to simulcast Lite 96 unless she is picking up 101.9. If that were to occur, I agree a simulcast might make sense. Four formats could potentially be simulcast on - or completely moved to - 106.7: - Bob-FM (adding 106.7 would greatly expand market reach); - 96.7 The Bull - 93...

Ok... I don't post on this side of the board often, so what did I miss? so both 105.5 and 106.7fm are off the air now?
Yes, off the air for at least the past week; presumably to save on the power bill, until buyers are found.

Quite the mess, isn't it?
