Hi Ed,
Fairbanks' legal eagles are/were presenting to the Town of Wayland a
proposal for a 3-tower array to "increase its present (radiated?) power".
They won't press the town too far if there is a lot of opposition. One
resident was quoted as saying it was great because it didn't increase auto
traffic!
The former Dow site is north of Route 30; east of Oak St.; and west of the
Natick town line.
Maybe Dan & Co. can explain possible scenarios if the town and ultimately
the FCC approve the new location for WKOX. Would the new location for the
station be more valuable to a Bloomberg or a Westinghouse:CBS Radio, etc.?
Would patterns be enhanced that much for Fairbanks to get a return on such
an "investment"?
Maybe they're looking ahead to the new services coming down the road?
Regards,
Bill Piacentini
