And at this point 850 is basically free as far as programming costs
go.  Their only cost is the transmitter site.  So long as they're
getting more from ESPN, there's no benefit in selling it.

680, on the other hand, is basically a money sink at this point.  It's
in the spinoff group, and I assume whoever ends up with those stations
will immediately turn around and try to find a buyer for it -- Salem
seems like the most obvious choice, and it would be an improvement for
them, signal-wise.  I don't think there's anyone else in the market
who would (a) know what to do with it, and (b) be able to raise the
financing.
