WSMN Sold And Expected Back On The Air Soon

[Mark Watson]

   Today's (7/1) Nashua NH Telegraph reports that WSMN (1590 Nashua) has 
been sold by current owners WSMN Broadcasting LLC to Absolute Broadcasting, 
who also own WSNH (900 Nashua). Thomas Monahan, head of Absolute 
Broadcasting, sais he pursued the sale to keep WSMN from being sold to a 
national company.

   WSMN has been dark since Jan. 31 after the W.Hollis St. property that the 
studios and towers were located was sold to developers planning to build 
housing on the land. Monahan hopes to have WSMN on the air again by 
Aug.15th. from a temporary transmitter site while looking for a permanent 
site, and plans to have a mix of local news, talk, music and the return of 
one of WSMN's staples, "Bargain Box".
