WBIX going Catholic

[Dan.Strassberg]

So what does Holy Family have on WHIC? Some Protestant stations are
pretty lively, but there are a lot that, like WEZE, are deadly dull.
The same is likely true of Catholic stations.

OTOH, Holy Family did build out WHIC's CP, which may or may not mean
that they would do the same with WBIX's CP to move its day site to
Ashland and, despite an increase in daytime power to 50 kW, give up a
large chunk of daytime coverage in order to save the cost of renting
the separate day site. Also, how is WHIC's technical operation? WBIX
will be pretty complex even if it can operate from one site. Requires
an owner who is really committed to maintaining the facilities.
