WEIM Fitchburg is being sold

[Paul Anderson]

WEIM Fitchburg is being sold by David Wang for $795,000 to William  
Macek, former owner of the former WINQ Winchendon (now Winchester  
NH).  Mr. Macek says he's going to continue the same format and local  
focus and hire some more people.

Interestingly, the article says:

     Mr. Filippone took over WEIM in 1987, when the market included a
     handful of smaller stations, among them WFGL and WCMX, both no
     longer around.

Of course, WCMX Leominster and WFGL Fitchburg are still on the air,  
although they both have "religious" formats.
