Entercom does indeed own both the 680 and 850 sites.

The 850 site isn't particularly developable for two reasons; first, it's 
largely wetland and there would be major environmental issues with trying 
to drain it, and second, there's no public road access to it - you have to 
go through the Needham Rod and Gun Club, or whatever it's called, to get 
back there. It could never be built today if it hadn't been there since 
1940-whatever.

680's even wetter.

That one's an American Tower site all the way...
