It almost happened with 1330 as the night signal for WILD when they had
approached WRCA about leasing all their night hours.  It was not known to
WRCA why WILD did not go ahead with the deal.
All I can say for WILD is they better do something with FM competition
coming from the 97.7 signal.  It would make some sense to invest in a 24
hour signal for one thing.  Boston is the largest market without a 24 hour
black station.  Also, I would think there might be a few WILD employees
approaching Radio One, the 97.7 buyers.
