WGAN----FM?

[Andy Soule]

Thats it in a nutshell.  There was a pile of cash that went to Taylor as 
part of the deal.

WTHT calls moved to 99.9 continuing as the Wolf, when Nassau put Frank on 
107.5.

Dave Winsor must be getting up there now as one of the longest running 
morning shows in southern maine.
