890/1400

[Dan.Strassberg]

My guess is that neither station is going to return until the owner
(Waller Sutton) finds someone who will LMA or buy it. If that takes
more than a year, they will probably light up for a day next September
to keep the licenses alive. ESPN was paying to keep the stations on
the air and, in the absence of that money, the game plan almost
certainly is to spend as little as humanly possible. I believe that
the 890 site (diplexed at night with Alex Langer's 1060) is owned by a
third party, so W-S will probably have to fork over WAMG's share of
the rental each month. I have no idea how long the (expensive, I'm
told) lease on the Charlestown studios has to run. If the studio lease
ends before someone buys the station or enters into a binding LMA, I
imagine that they will sell off the studio equipment (or at least put
it in storage) and get out of the space. A new owner or LMA partner,
will then have to find new studio space--usually not a big problem.
