shows that renewal application BR-20131126BPD was accepted for filing 
11/27/2013. I think it remains in "accepted for filing" status because 
there's also a pending unconsummated application for assignment of 
license from Pamal to one of Brian Dodge's front groups, 
BAL-20130207ABI, but as long as the renewal app is "accepted for 
filing," the station can continue to operate under the terms of its 
expired license.

There's also a silent STA that was filed in January 2014, indicating 
that "THIS AM STATION DOES NOT GENERATE REVENUES CLOSE TO WHAT IS 
REQUIRED TO COVER THE COST OF OPERATIONS. THE LICENSEE HAS SUSPENDED 
BROADCASTING IN ORDER TO REEVALUATE THE STATION BUSINESS PLAN." But that 
silent date, 11/30/2013, was more than six months ago, so WPNI should 
have resumed operations or filed for an extension no later than 5/30/2014.

If it's not dead, it's at least hovering on the edge.
