Is WCRB up for sale?

[Doug Drown]

I'm in Mass. for a couple of days and having been listening to WCRB, which not only has been touting its upcoming 60th anniversary but which, in offering itself as an advertising medium, refers to itself as a world-renowned radio station. (I wouldn't argue that historically it's at least nationally renowned.) 

I wouldn't think references like this would be made if Nassau were seriously considering selling.  -Doug

Clea Simon's column ran in the Thursday Globe and contained much the same information 
as the radio-info.com news item by Tom Taylor (didn't he play Captain Marvel in the movies?).
That puts the information before the general public (it appeared in the Globe's 'Style & Arts'
section), or at least those who read stories about the radio IN - DUSS-  TREEEE!
(Sorry, a "Firesign Theater" flashback).
