This is my first post but I have been a long time reader of this website. I absolutely agree with Mr. Fybush that posters who post third party Facebook or other website info without validating that information does a tremendous disservice to all who read their posts. Very basic FCC law and rules are easy to find. Clearly, a station has one year to get back on the air per law. Very basic. No exceptions. I would encourage the posters here to check their facts BEFORE posting misinformation. With WMEX, Mr. Perry is clearly a very knowledgeable professional who knows the rules. I believe he really doesn't care about the AM signals, so he will spend the least amount possible for AM coverage. The FM translators are the valuable commodity. My guess he will use both translators to transmit WATD to a wider audience.
Wow
someone complains about not checking facts and posts that they GUESS he will use the translators to transmit WATD to a wider audience?
WATD what? AM or FM?
Trust me, when it comes to spending the least amount possible, Ed Perry is a genius.... just ask everyone that worked there for nothing on the overnight shift for free in violation of all sorts of laws.
IMHO the purchase of the Brockton AM , now dark was a waste of money and a huge mistake, and the 1510 signal also is a huge waste of money. I DGARA about the translators. they can be forced off the air by complaints from other stations right? If the translators are reduced to flea powered poor coverage operations, what value do they have?
And as for 2 of the recent posters. One of you is a big time industry professional, the other is we don't know.
This website is not an industry only board, it is open to enthusiasts, and not all of us read FCC filings as part of our business ventures.
come off your high horses
