Herald, BRW: 1200 to conservative talk in April

[Dan.Strassberg]

That's what I guess, too. Since we both guess the same thing, I think
we can actually say that your guess is as good as mine. And since,
over the past few years, the WKOX calls have become associated with
the Rumba SS music format, it seems likely that those calls, along
with Rumba, will return to 1430, replacing the slightly mellower Mia
format that has been running on 1430 for a few months.

Now, if something--such as a simulcast (even a nighttime-only
simulcast) with WAZN 1470--could be done to make 1430 listenable
outside of Everett at night, the station might even become viable.

Another possibility for 1430 or 1430/1470 would be ESPN Deportes.
Since CCU is unlikely to be willing (or even able) to spend cash to
buy 1470 from MRBI, could the two outfits put together an LMA, wherein
CCU would LMA 1470 (even just nighttimes) or MRBI would LMA 1430?

With a nighttime-only deal, the Russian-language programming could
continue on 1470 during daylight hours. I don't know whether that
programming is enough to put 1470 into the black for MRBI but the
combination of two LMAs might do it.

SO, I assume if 1200 is going to become WXKS, 1430 will become WKOX?
What will 1430 program?
