WEGO 1410 off the air today
- Thread starter Mike Sheridan
- Start date
I guess if the translator is on no one cares.
If you'll notice, I didn't have to rely on WEGO. I had 1280 on in the car until Mt. Pleasant, and then again past Mt. Pleasant. Air conditioning must make things worse.

I checked today when I was in the area and WEGO is still off the air. The Translator was on the air....
I looked and it does not appear that they have informed the Commission that the AM is off the air. By rule the translator is supposed to be off. The owner is a lawyer. You would think he would want to obey the law.

The owner is Catawba College, last time I checked. Or are you saying he/she represents them?
Owner is Tort Lawyer Bill Graham. I don't think Catawba was ever really involved. Buddy Poole runs the stations.

I am in fact correct about this. Bill Graham represents Catawba, as I said.
Again I do not believe Catawba College was actually ever involved. You need to speak to actual folks instead of believing press releases posted in the paper.Catawba Foundation buying WSTP - Salisbury Post

Facts are these. WEGO is off the air. The translator is still on the air. I looked again today and there are no notices to the commission that WEGO is off the air.
The translator should not be on the air.

Believe what you want, but those are multiple articles that said the same thing.
You can believe what you want but all of the ownership reports posted in the Online Public Files for all three stations show Mr Graham as the 100 percent stockholder of 2B Productions LLC which own the stations. I found in no documents that reference Catawba College in any ownership role.

Perhaps, as the article states, Mr. Graham has set up something with Catawba College, for the benefit of the college. However, in the FCC "Ownership Report there is only mention of "2B Productions LLC" in which Mr. Graham is Chairmen Of The Board and has 100% of the votes for said company. No mention at all in the FCC documents of Catawba College.
I have heard, on the air, that the college would receive profits from the station and students would learn about broadcasting by working for the station. I may have heard news reports done by the students. I don't get up early enough to hear the morning show any more, though. Also, Catawba College used to be mentioned at the top of the hour, but it isn't mentioned any more. So maybe that relationship did end.
I meant to check on that. I changed a button in my car to the classic country station in Myrtle Beach and something was coming in really strong. I was going to find out what that was.
Now it's WSAT's turn. The station went off Monday afternoon and I kept checking back. I switched to another oldies station that is similar. As of yesterday morning, still nothing.
Back this week.
