WEBY Milton being sold to ADX

ADX has been operating WEBY on a time brokerage agreement since December, apparently. Now they are acquiring the station outright. Looks like Spinnaker might've defaulted on a loan, so it's being sold off along with the CP for the translator in Pensacola.

I'm not in a position to hear WEBY regularly so I can't tell if the programming has changed. I figured it might show up on one of WYCT's HD subchannels but HD2/HD3 remain blank while HD4 still has WNRP.
 
Wow! I'm so surprised. ;). Nobody saw that coming.

I wonder what the new format will be? Pensacola already too much competition in talk radio. Could a second sports station compete with The Ticket?

I didn't see it coming lol, but when you're a commercial station and you need this on your homepage: https://www.paypal.com/donate/?toke...2DHYYmK1oovr7qmM8RQ0&country.x=US&locale.x=US

Wouldn't it be easy (after paying for the privilege, of course) to plug in ESPN Radio + Finebaum on WNRP or WEBY, just like the former "ESPN Pensacola" did? A web search says 1620/92.3 is already the Florida State Seminoles' affiliate. Maybe add Saints or Jaguars football?
 
Another thought... if ADX/Cat Country gets ownership of the land the WEBY towers are located on, could ADX move the WNRP tower to Garcon Point and give 1620 a better signal? Maybe even add Fort Walton to the daytime coverage area?

I'm not sure anywhere in the immediate Pensacola area is going to be suitable for an AM to cover FWB. Not without 50 kW and a massive directional array. The ground conductivity just plain stinks around here.

Has there been any movement on WNRP's programming moving to WEBY? I haven't heard anything new about it.
