ANOTHER WCIN EXTENSION; WCVG IS DARK?

Bob, I was there from '85 to '87 when Irv sold it. I stayed with the Plessingers at WCVG and JOY 107 until I went to WUBE/WDJO. It was "Cincinnati's Hit Playin' AM" then. We actually never called it CLU-132 except in the legal ID. Listeners (both of them) thought we were saying, "CLU 1-3-2-2." And, Irv wrote all of the copy to say WCLU, so we just quit saying it. Same equipment you had in '72 for sure.

Here is the sales agreement between Davidson and TMH MEDIA GROUP, LCC, the Buyer:
https://licensing.fcc.gov/cdbs/CDBS...?appn=101313788&qnum=5030©num=1&exhcnum=1
They were going to pay $450,000 dollars for that radio station.
Sorry to hear about the equipment...In 1972, it was a tube type Gates console with the meter on the right, a tube type Gates limiter & a tube type Gates transmitter--and the quality from the air monitor was superb...sounded like mono FM. Two rack mounted cart decks & 2 turntables. The cart decks had to be beat on to get them to start. Irv was in Production with PD Roy Wakely when I was observed banging the cart machine to get it to start...Irv blew up & fired me. My $2 an hour country DJ career up in smoke...If you have any pics of the studio you can share, please PM me...I'd love to see them.Jeff_Davis said:Bob, I was there from '85 to '87 when Irv sold it.

Or its Campbell County Chevrolet ads that sounded like the tape had been dipped in the toilet.
I NEED SAX said:Have there been any stations that have went dark in the Cincinnati area and never returned? I can't remember any right off hand.
WCNE was a high school station in Clermont County that's gone now. Also, I think there was a high school station in Reading called WRCJ which is gone now too.
js said:Didn't WCNE become WOBO, and WRCJ become WMKV. I still have an old WRCJ sticker here somewhere. I toured WRCJ back in '84 when I was in high school at WHSS Hamilton.
Colerain had WNSD, but I never heard it. Christopher Geisen started there.
I thought WCNE actually shared time with WOBO, which was a separate license. But it vanished around 1989. Also, I thought WRCJ was a completely separate license from WMKV, which came much later.
I don't remember ever hearing of WNSD.

microbob, it's a much bigger hit than you think! Davidson bought it for $1.9 million. I was chatting with Dick Plessinger a lot around that time and he was very proud of that deal!

So right, Jeff!!
It was Cincy's own John Pierce that fetched this lofty number.
Today, it is worth about 350 or 375........
That's probably why it's off the air. Hard to get the financing for it.

Yes, this is the 1.9 million deal Dick Plessinger struck with Davidson:
