Are any Cincinnati stations actively up for sale?

M

major

Just wondering, since the whole economy is in the crapper. If anyone knows of any for sale, which ones, and what do you think they may be worth?

I had a topic a few months back about prices of AM stations. Just wonder how far down in value they have gone since then.

I wonder, too, if WNOP could be purchased? They only went for $550,000 in 2000. (They now have 2500 watts day instead of 1000).

I may as well yell outside a 3 story building as opposed to buying WCVG. Save electric, too.

When I worked there in 1972, it had a decent signal...a few miles south of downtown Cincy with the directional pattern aimed right at it. Before WUBE 1230 went country in the spring of 1969, 1320 WCLU had a 10 share doing "Big CLU Country" as a daytimer. WUBE's 24 hour signal cleaned their clock as 1320 was 6AM - Sunset back in the day. Not to mentione WCLU was never a great sounding country station, whereas WUBE was smooth & polished...believe they called it Country-politan & their air staff was known as the "Magnificent Seven"...
 
check out 97.7 WOXY in Mason, their tower has moved from the TBN tower in Oxford to
Morrow on US 22/3 near Rt 48.

Let's see who want to buy this with WAOL in Ripley....
 
There are two AM's that are pending closing. If they don't, then, yes.....

I think that the latest broker trying to sell the two First Broadcasting stations has given up.

They actually tried to get 6 mil for the pair.
 
jry....Any insight into why the WCIN deal has been extended?

By the way, you REALLY need to tweak WQRT's processing. It's not loud and not enough mid to highs. Not set up for talk right now. Crank it up!!

First is just trying to get their money back after they overpaid for the signals.

I'm sure the Baloghs and Plessingers didn't mind the overpayment.

I cannot contribute much info on WCIN. I am sure that they have it under control. That was a steal.

Processing? I know, its been killing me. I bought the new Omnia Digital AM Processor. What a box. We put one at my new site in Lansing, MI and it smokes. All they had to do was dial it to "Talk-Bright" and it drives. We set up 1160 the same way and...... groan.....
There is something else going on that is non processing related. Maybe a phasing problem. Some transmitters have an input control that will clip excessive positive and negative peaks. If set wrong, you end up with what we sound like. My guess is that there is a skunk in the audio chain. The wiring was all spaghetti when i was there for the launch. We barely found the correct pair to the STL. We have a fresh set of "eyes and ears" coming in next week to solve it. Mucho Frustrating.
