The Hawk broken up! Maybe a new 'EEI simulcast?

[David Tomm]

Since this came down very quickly, it sounds like Vox simply plugged  
in an Ipod or PC with the songs along with a continuously looping CD  
that gives the calls once an hour over whatever is playing.  It's  
crude, but it works until they can figure out what to do with the  
station.

I would not be surprised to see 102.3 eventually go with some sort of  
automation friendly talk format.  This way they could avoid having to  
pay ASCAP and BMI fees from a music format while not having to hire  
much of a staff.   That is, if they have any interest in owning the  
station at all.  If not, I wouldn't be surprised to see Entercom  
swoop in and buy it outright just to put WEEI on it.
