CBS SELLS W.P.B. CLUSTER

[cd637299]

The other board reports that on June 1, the following will happen:

WIRK to 103.1.
WEAT-FM to 107.9
WRMF stays at 97.9 and WMBX stays on 102.3.

104.3 and WHFS 106.3 gets sold off.  104.3 possibly gets moved to Miami.

Hmmmm, verrrrrry interesting.

So there are indeed new owners for these?  Will those above which have run HD and HD2's continue to do so?  Will 104.3/106.3 be briefly off the air? (asks this DXer)

interesting.. speculation as to who may or could aquire 104.3? if indeed it comes to miami.

CC- i beleive they cant own anymore miami stations they are at their limit and so is Cox.
that leaves Beasley Broadcasting and lincoln financial both i belive own three in this area and are able to own one more if im not mistaken... any takers ?


btw does anybody know if WEAT will move from their current tower or downgrade since WIRK at 107.9 is significantly only for WPB and does not reach miami, unlike 104.3 wich can be heard up to the upper keys

^  This could be a condundrmumun ( ) for the little WORZ-LP which has been running on 104.3 outta the Ocean Reef Yacht Club in north Key Largo ( www.keysfm.com )

Despite speculation about 104.3 being moved to Dade County, I still cannot understand why this is one of the signals being sold.  103.1 and 102.3 are weak in southern Palm Beach County.  Why wouldn't Goodman want to keep the best signals?

David Gleason, aka DavidEduardo said it best a few comments ago:

The Number 7 station in Miami bills twice as much as the Number 1 station in West Palm Beach.

Doubt Lincoln wants it, unless they use it as a 790 simulcast and put WQAM out of business permanently.  Cox has their hands full cherrypicking LFM talent and getting their house in order.  CC is over their limit and even if they wanted WIOD on FM, they just dumped Super X for the phoenix that is WSHE as a Jack clone.

Maybe Goodman sells 106.3, and moves 104.3 to Miami and keeps it for himself.  Different market, no ownership cap to worry about (yet...unless he's in a buying mood).....

Very good point, RadioGuy2004.  If Goodman can move 104.3 to Dade County, why wouldn't he just want to keep it?
