It's the logical way to think about it, and it's the way most listeners
thought about it.  But that complex couple of paragraphs also makes chear
that General Telewhatever bought the WLAW license and put the WNAC call
letters on it.  And they sold the original WNAC license to Vic Dheim, who
put the WVDA call letters on it.

Now, did WEEI move to 850 or did WEEI become WBNW and WHDH become WEEI?
