Right now, SCERN's all-news service can be heard on its stations licensed to Sumter, Rock Hill, Conway, Aiken, and Beaufort; and its mixed service can be heard on its stations in Greenville, Columbia, and Charleston. (There is an all-jazz service licensed to Orangeburg as well.) I think that, with the possible exception of the Orangeburg station, all of the mixed stations could easily go to the all-news service and not lose a lot of donations. The question in my mind however is what NPR programs the all-news service is going to drop (it made the announcement last year) and what their replacements will be.

WEPR has been upgraded and is authorized by the FCC (as are all of the other stations) to operate in HD for quite a while now. They just won’t turn it on.
