I'm guessing that means the Triple A format won't be returning. Doesn't look like the sort of thing the new buyer would program.
It'll be interesting to see what they do with programming. They took over the Port stations and instantly turned on the simulcast machine.
Hard to imagine much interest for Central Maine sports in Eastern Maine.
Possible site for 620 could be sharing the WTOS 910 (formerly WABI) tower in Brewer.
More likely they'll diplex with one of their own other sister AMs, no?
One of their sites is already diplexed. The other is right across the street.
Then perhaps they can triplex. Often done in Hawaii. In Cuba, having four stations on a tower is done by the Chinese engineers.
Wouldn’t 620 require a taller tower than the 1230 and 1340 graveyarders? Neither appear to be very tall.
We've had 3-4 on a tower quite commonly in the UK, no need for Chinese engineering. The two-tower array I can see from my window used to have 909, 1089 and 1215 all at 400kW, quite a feat at the time, although these days 1215 is gone and the other two are at somewhat lower power levels.
And now that I think about it, WTOS is owned by Blueberry Broadcasting which would probably not be interested.

Monet talks, money talks !
Not only in China, in Mexico I saw a tower with 4 frequencies in operation. The tower was set up for 1250 kHz, but it multiplied 1100 kHz, 950 kHz and 650 kHz. I can't tell you how terrible that operation was, two of them were 5kW stations, and the rest were 1kW. At 9 miles away you could hear all the harmonics on the tuners. Even one of these 950 kHz frequencies was causing interference in the last mile of the analog telephone power lines.
