Ah. I was wondering what was going to happen to Brother Campion’s radio empire. Does this mean 94.5FM in northern NJ will changing over to news/talk as well? It has a very good signal.
Sad though if all the talk hosts leave the 50,000 watt beacon of freedom WABC-AM.
Do you mean 94.7 out of Newark? Looked up on Wikipedia
and saw the following info:
>>On January 6, 2012, Family Stations applied to the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) to change the license of WFME from noncommercial to commercial. This move followed the sales by Family Radio of stations in the Philadelphia (WKDN) and Washington-Baltimore (WFSI, now WLZL) markets, and quickly prompted conjecture from radio industry monitors that WFME would be sold next.] The application was approved on February 7, 2012.
WFME’s programming was also heard on two translator stations: W213AC (90.5 FM) in Hyde Park, New York; and W247AE (97.3 FM) in East Stroudsburg, Pennsylvania. As a result of the license status change, the translators can no longer legally rebroadcast WFME’s broadcast signal and as a result both translator stations are currently silent of February 2012.
Oh: and this radio-info.com thread said WFME is being
sold to...ESPN
