Any updates on the WMRN Dublin move in?

A petition for reconsideration has been filed by the Columbus stations opposed to the Clear Channel move on June 8th. The petion seeks another look at the decision re-assigning WMRN from Marion to Dublin.
I suspect that denial of the petion will result in an appeal to the DC Federal Court of Appeals, further tying up the process.
On another note, a CP has been granted to allow WYNT to move to Caledonia, Ohio, with a site near Route 4 and just south of the Crawford/Marion county line.

I am sure this group of stations appealing this move-in will be about as successful as they were opposing the 105.7 move-in. Granted it's dangerous to compare two completely separate scenarios since 105.7 was moving from Marysville to "Hilliard" which geographically is probably not as big a move as Marion to Dublin. (Edited to add... and we are talking about a 25,000 Watt compared to a 2400 watt)
The WYNT move is a fairly good strategic move in my opinion by CC to "grease the skids" for the WMRN move. Any arguement that moving WMRN away from Marion would leave it without sufficient radio would be keyboshed with the WYNT move. The WYNT CP states that not only is it a tower move, it's a power increase and a taller stick. I wonder if WYNT would get the WMRN calls (would make sense) and the Dublin station would get new calls. Too bad Denison already has WDUB
