Did WNDZ-750 in Portage, ind......

I wouldn't know. I got my money with no problem. That's what I cared about.

For 24 years It's been on Amsler Rd, farther North, then West. .

The more I think about this....I'm interested in knowing HOW YOU ARE so SURE it's "dentistry money? " Maybe it's money from a source unknown to you. WHY is where the money came from so important to you?

For 24 years the 2 stations have been on Amsler Rd, farther North of the WRIN transmitter, then West.

By the way Matt, where did the money come from to buy the station s YOU own?

Wasn't my point at all...but doesn't surprise me that it was lost

It was meant for anyone who has listened to or work for those stations

I dunno about you but a dentist and a guy who couldn't run a Hardees make great radio owners. Proof in the sound

Tell us about the sound "oh wise radio man"...

Matt said; "Wasn't my point at all...but doesn't surprise me that it was lost"

OK Matt- what WAS your point? LOTS of people from "outside of radio" own radio stations. I knew a guy who sold FARM IMPLEMENTS, another who was a CAR DEALER, another who was A PIG FARMER.

I know a SIGN PAINTER who owned a station.

Wasn't all THEIR money just as green as the Chicago Tribune's money (they own wgn radio)?

And again, where is the radio station YOU own, and where did YOUR money come from? How's its' sound?

I knew of a guy who got fired from Denny’s, and soon-after took over an AM Top-40 station... His brother was a Pediatrician. The station always sounded best (audio-wise) in the early spring—NEW transmitter tubes at the height of the “Flu season”.

Then there was a guy that owned a free-circulation weekly “shopper” publication who bought a stand-alone AM-country station—hoping to put his print customers on radio. His brother was a priest... Not many “column-inchers” made it to radio, but the FULL Catholic Rosary could be heard Sundays at 5PM.

Finally, a pair of Princeton-degreed twins decided [upon graduation] to buy a 1kw AM daytimer for $250,000 in a market with nearly a dozen FM and full-time AM stations. One went on to Cornel Law School (for another 250K); the other carted-up his entire 70s pop-rock collection [including “Kung Fu Fighting” and “Love Grows Where My Rosemary Goes—Nothin’ Grows Where The Dog Goes”] and $5000 worth of Jam jingles... So much for an Ivy League education!

WHERE have all the “interesting” owners gone? ...CCU COULDN’T have bought-out them all
