Boston-Radio-Interest Digest, Vol 23, Issue 90

[Sidney Schweiger]

“Wasn't 77 WABC sold?”

Yes, to John Catsimitidis, who IIRC has roots in Boston and is the owner of the NYC-area Gristedes grocery chain.  However, I believe I read somewhere that the deal won’t close (pending FCC approval) until October.  I don’t know if there’s an LMA in place.

Supposedly John C was a huge fan of Musicradio WABC, so it wouldn’t surprise me a bit if he was behind getting Rewound back on the air.
