It's also interesting to not that, while I do not know a lot of the
details about the switchovers or the exact times when King owned what
stations, I do know that when he sold WZON, he retained the property that
the station was locatedon on outher Broadway in bangor. Mostly because
there is a rather decent sized clock of land between Broadway and Bangor
High School, and he did not want the land to be sold and developed.

I found that to be one of the most interesting facts about the sale
personally......
