86 WLBG Laurens back on air

Doesn’t seem like WLBG has made any effort to file for another STA or an extension. Lounge/beautiful music still blasting on 860 and 104.1. Not sure what their plans are.

So, what's their license status now, paperwork-wise?

Roger on that, thanks for the info.
 
I don’t know why they’re on the air, or how they’re making any money, that was supposedly the reason they went off the air to begin with and they even had some advertisers then. Now it’s the non stop weird music and a legal ID. The building and land that the tower sits on is for sale. They tried to sell the license and facilities for years with no takers.
 
Just saw this, explains some things.

I wasn’t aware the land had been sold but I’ll be by there tomorrow and check it out. I’d be shocked if this one ever signs back on full time.
