WHMP-AM 1400/WHMQ-AM 1240/WHNQ-1600/W245BK-FM 96.9

[Rick Kelly]

Saga sold the land for the 4 tower array to real estate developers. The
station was 5000 day, 2500 night directional day and night. The tower array
was on land about 2/10th of a mile from the 45 Fisher Ave E Longmeadow
building. The now single tower is now adjacent to 45 Fisher Ave.

The change from the 4 tower to single enabled WWRL to move up to 50,000
watts, I believe.
