And no one knows anything about this new owner?  (Maybe no one cares!)
BTW...I thought someone on the list listed CBS/Westinghouse/Infinity as
the suitor for 1260AM.

For a religious owner to own TWO AM's and do RELIGION on both of them...
.Makes no sense at all.  They appear to be competing with themselves...

That would be the only logical way for them to compliment their AM
property...

Where will WEZE and WPZE operate from then...???

On another note....Even with the call letter/frequency switch....I
noticed that one of the stations dropped out of the last ratings.  Only
WEZE got listed....wether it be at 1260AM or 590AM in the listeners mind
.  

So basically, another facility dropped off the end of the map...
