It sounds like everyone is treating this station like it's radioactive [as in nuclear] and no knows what to do with it or wants anything to do with it. Why not just turn the damn license in?

No Sale Looming, ESPN 98.7 expected to pivot to Music

Why would a company surrender an asset with a value of tens of millions? Really? All it takes is one buyer to meet Emmis' asking price.

Not so much that as a case of Emmis asking more for it than anyone is willing to pay.
I guarantee that if Jeff Smulyan did surrender the license, his board would have him committed.
guys gals and non binary pals i have a theory

What? His daily podcast repeated for 24 hours at a time?
This is likely correct. TJ was previously part of Elvis Duran's show then spent six years in mornings at 103.3 Amp Radio Boston. His show is syndicated by Gemini XII Media which also owns United Stations.
Obviously Tom Joyner comin' back
I would rather be forced to listen to looped airchecks of Bubba 98.7 in Tampa (Now 98.7 The Shark) for the rest of my life than a 24/7 loop of a morning show. And I don't know how that's humanly possible. But hey, at least it's not silent. That's what matters.
Unfortunately, no.
TJ's show is a syndicated product for airing on any format with the breaks used within any existing music log. The podcast is just the compilation.
Joyner's morning show ended in 2019. Big no.
You know that's actually a lot more effort than I would've expected for the logo of a temporary format
Tarsha Jones then.
Her words? "A certain personality"? How odd.
Tommy John, with hour upon hour of baseball and surgical talk.
She's with WXBK. Another no.
Or IS she?
