98.3 and 99.9. If the price is right Beasley would sell. I would say 93.5 but I'm sure they make more money with the ethnic programming than classic hits.

Also 99.1 in Shelby Township. I believe Smile owns that one. Some type of a deal was made with Beasley in order to have Smile on WCSX HD 3.

Beasley sold 93.5 to Birach a few months ago for them to translate WNZK. Yes Smile FM owns 99.1

Hear me out-
If anything I would if I was Birach I would try to acquire something from EMF like the Air1106.3 translator, that one would likely be good for WCAR or WCXI. Distance may be a problem and it may need to move to be compliant.

Or do a exchange with Relevant Radio's WKEG and the 4 translators for either WCXI or WCAR (or a full on purchase) and shift one of those 2 (WCXI or WCAR) to WKEG and the 4 translators and give WPON a better signal on either 1160 or 1090 and dump 1460 outright.

WNZK probably generates the most revenue of all their local stations by a wide margin. Screwing with that would be foolish.
