WBZ Radio - On Low Power Again !

Listening to WBZ this morning around 8 O'clock when it suddenly went on low power. They did this last year just about every weekend. Are they cleaning up the transmitter as CBS prepares to turn the frequency over to Entercom?

I thought WBZ was NOT going to Entercom?? (Ditto, WBZ-FM and WZLX).

Wouldn't this be a hoot: CBS can't get its asking price for these - and decides to keep them!!!
 
DOJ won't let Entercom/CBS Radio as a merged company have them but CBS Corp. could keep them by transferring them out of the radio division to the O&O TV division and keep them paired with BZ-TV.

Had the same thought - maybe CBS ends up keeping a small radio outpost like Disney did with a single radio disney outlet in LA but sounds like that is a low probability and a buyer is lurking in the wings already.

BTW an interesting side note I read someplace (maybe on wikipedia) is that with CBS controlled 80% by National Amusements (which is a private company), itself headquartered in Norwood MA, that the CBS Boston O&O stations are essentially locally owned.

Since 72% of Entercom will be owned by CBS shareholders, that possibly does not place enough distance between the ownership groups in the eyes of the DoJ.
