It's been reported that this is no LMA. Merlin is buying WLFM. Apparently, Merlin will begin running the station immediately while the sale/approval process unfolds.
Poor reporting. Merlin's own press release says it's an LMA. |

Awesome! I know some may not agree, but the Rock mix on Q101 in its last days was pretty good. So if the new Alt. station ends up sounding the same, I know I'll be listening regularly!

I won't, because my car radio won't tune that frequency. Unfortunately I'll also be unable to listen to the ads for the Alley and the various "gentleman's clubs" that support this wonderful "music".

If Merlin stays around long enough, I wonder if they'll program channel 6 for TV by 2016, or sell channel 6. They won't be able to be able to broadcast channel 6 as a radio station after 2015.

There's an application on file to convert the station to digital on channel 6. (filed before Merlin acquired it) Channel 6 really isn't very well suited for DTV use, although it's quite likely no better channel is available. |

Does Mark have a second account or are you just a clone? |

What rights, if any, do the guys that took the intellectual property rights of Q101 have to stop Merlin from using the Q branding in the Chicago market... or are they involved somehow?
