Sounds reasonable.  And if the ownership changes have already taken 
place, there must be some agreement for a short-term LMA or 
something, so that WCRB can keep operating on 102.5 and WKLB on 99.5 
until 1 December.

So now the big question is, which changeover do I want to listen to, 
the one on 99.5 or the one on 102.5?
