102.5 to Spanish? Nahhh.....

[Sid Schweiger]

>>99.5 is second-adjacent to 99.1. I think that precludes 99.5's moving
any
further south. The owner of WPLM-FM (daughter of the Mr Campbell who
founded
WPLM AM&FM and Campbell Sports Network, which at one time held of the
Red
Sox broadcast rights) has reportedly repeatedly refused very lucrative
offers for WPLM-FM--and even for WPLM (AM). She apparently won't sell at
any
price. WPLM-FM plus WKLB would have very nice combined coverage but
neither
one has a competitive signal in downtown Boston.<<

Add to that the fact that 99.5 is assigned to Lowell, meaning that it
has to put a city-grade signal over most of that city.  The farther
south you go from its present location, the more difficult that becomes.
