WABI/WAEI-Bangor- Heritage AM StationTo Close Down?

[M. Casey]

According to Wikipedia, Blueberry Broadcasting took the station dark as of 
Sept. 1.
And Radio-Locator has deleted it from the listings.
Anyone here know anyone at Radio-Locator?
In all cases like this, it sure would be nice if they left the technical 
information up at least until the license is turned in to the FCC.

The tower land issue looks grim. But, with the economy in the slow state it 
is, I can't imagine that another piece of land is out of the question. 
Better yet...how's the possibility of diplexing with another station?

WAEI-AM  910 in Bangor, ME has requested approval to go silent for the time

a buyer can be found, and if not, then turn in the license. WAEI is  the
former WABI-AM, a 5,000-watt fulltime
facility in the second largest  market in the state that came into being in
1924.


The tower site is the problem.  It is being re-designed or sold, and  the 2
towers to be taken down. typical scenario.... "the land is worth more than
the station".  In this case, it's quite true, as the area the towers are,
is in one of Bangor-area's mall development areas. - I really hope this
great  heritage station is purchased. (I'd do it if I had the time, and if 
my
wife  would let me!)
