Entercom Buys WILD-FM, Will Simulcast WAAF On 97.7

[Dan Strassberg]

Who will buy an AM daytimer without pre-sunrise authority in this era of
daylight saving time that begins in March and lasts until November? Maybe
the guy who bought WESX and WJDA. WESX is a fulltimer and WJDA, though a
Class D, has 71W night authority, but neither one is really a Boston signal.
As far as I can tell, the brokered Spanish and Portuguese religion on
WESX/WJDA is never simulcast, suggesting that the new owner has been able to
sell out two stations. But that may be an illusion; the two stations may
carry the same programs at different times.

If someone wanted to spend big $$$ on a daytime AM, WILD could get a
substantial power increase (perhaps even to 50 kW), but it can't escape from
being a daytimer.
