WLLH-AM Lawrence transmitter off-air
The WLLH-AM transmitter on the Cregg (sp?) Bldg.
in downtown Lawrence was off-the-air as of Sunday
morning 01/09/00. The more things change, the more
they stay the same. The story was that Mega
Broadcasting had the Mega bucks to operate their
properties better than the cash-strapped entities that
sold them. N-Y-A-A-A-H! Actually, the WLLH
Lawrence operation has been a weak sister of WLLH
Lowell as long as I can remember. Many times in
recent years, it would be off for days or weeks
but the Lowell stick kept on going. I assume that
they have an auxiliary on the banks of the
Merrimack near UMass Lowell, but not in boarded-
up downtown Lawrence. This seems strange for a
Spanish-language broadcaster; Lowell is a more
populous city, but Lawrence has a bigger Hispanic
population. Maybe they chose a Sunday to do
maintenance or even replace some equipment, but
it seems to me that a company that claims they are
willing to spend the bucks to make WARE a Worcester
station (nearly impossible) should first
fix a possibly viable operation.
