Nobody has suggested that Disney owned 890.

Look how Disney has approached radio the past few years as they sold
off all the non sports and Radio Disney stations to Citadel. Obviously
the bottom line works for them with those two formats.

How much would they be willing to pay for the 850 transmitter since
Entercom moves the goodwill to FM is a big question. However it is
also a buyers market out there and they may get it for a Filenes
Basement price.

The ESPN brand name is the golden goose that drives Disney now even
more than ABC and the mouse itself.

Entercom badly needs cash and they could be betting that listeners
will find them no matter where they go.
