WILD changes?

[Dan.Strassberg]

But this arrangement, in which an American entity would buy the signal
and LMA it to a foreign entity, probably is legal. I think KIRN, which
broadcasts in Farsi in the Los Angeles area, and some other stations
in east the and midwest, several of which seem to be owned by Birach
Broadcasting, are examples of exactly such arrangements. If not, there
must be quite a few China-financed but nominally American entities
that can and will gladly step up and buy WILD with guarantees of
long-term leases from the Chinese governmemt or from China-financed
"American" companies.
