Boston Phoenix Sells WFEX-FM To Owners Of WXEX

[Mark Watson]

  Radio-Info.com reports that the Boston Phoenix has sold WFEX-FM (92.1 
Sanford ME) to Andrew Hartmann, the owner of WXEX (1540 Exeter NH) for $1 
million. It's also reported that WFEX (1220 Sanford) has been silent since 
last July and is not included in the sale. This leaves the Phoenix with the 
92.1 in Peterborough NH along with WFNX. I wonder if Mr. Hartmann will 
simulcast the homegrown oldies format on WXEX or if he's planning on 
separate programming for 92.1? Maybe Hartmann can try to make a deal for 
1220 and get it back on the air before the license is deleted in July.
