Re: WABU sold to PAX

[brouder@juno.com]

The short blurb in Wednesday's Union Leader identified the buyer as DP
Media of Boston Inc.  I'm told that is Lowell Paxson's son (Donald?).  So
the BU stations, Channels 60 & 46 would kind of all be "in the family." 
If current TV ownership rules allow them to keep all five (I'm admittedly
not up on this), it might make a very attractive sales package.  It's
rather like the suburban Boston network the Knight Stations were once
packaged as in order to capture national business.  By adding the
audiences of WHEB A/F, WGIR A/F, WSRS, WEIM, and WSAR national
advertisers could reach as many people as a buy in the Boston market at a
fraction of the cost.
