Re: WFNX -- don't leave home without it...

this sounds like what the owners of wlir on long island did; they bought
stations in philadelphia (and i think albany or dc) and simulcasted music with
intermitten local ads. now if mindich could just buy a station in town and
start programming some local talk!

 WFNX will now be heard on a signal with slightly more
 power. WFNX owner Stephen Mindich is buying free-format
 WCDQ 92.1FM serving NH coast and So. York COunty in Maine.
 Mindich Communications will bring the sounds of WFNX-FM to that market
 on the 24/7 basis. I hear they're also trying to acquire
 a signal on the Cape. 
 
 From what I am told, WCDQ has dropped Arbitron subscription
 a few years ago. When it did subscribe, it averaged 200 listeners
 every 15 mins. I guess with so many young people from
 Boston vacationing and shopping in that part of the region,
 MCC can do better by pumping WFNX up there....Just my
 thoughts(asbestos suit's on...:)
