If Family Radio sells off their remaining radio stations, the stations in the commercial band (what few there might be) can be sold to anyone. I believe that their stations in the non-commercial band will have to be sold to a organization that knows how to run stations in the non-commercial band. So either another religious organization, or a school might buy up those stations. The only I could possibly see EMF buying WJCH Joliet, IL, is to possibly carry Air1 , since there's enough overlap between WJCH & WJKL that EMF can't simulcast K Love on WJCH. Moody Bible Institute could probably show interest in WJCH, & air their Spanish language programming on that station, & apply for a translator in the city of Chicago (they already air the Spanish language programming on WMBI AM 1110, but it's a daytimer). Depending on the market for their translators, I believe most would get sold to EMF or Calvary Chapel, since it seems to be mostly religious organizations going after translators. Markets where the main signal is a challenge, then as long as the translator is in the commercial band, then a commercial broadcaster will try to acquire the translators. I don't know who would buy WMWK Milwaukee. There's not a lot of stations on the air, in the non-commercial band, in Milwaukee. Until 6/12/2009, WMWK was required to have their antenna on the same tower with WITI-TV, since WITI was on channel 6, & channel 6's audio is heard on most radios on 87.7, while the actual frequency is 87.75mhz. So to reduce interference, that station had to be on the same tower as WITI, & each had filters to prevent each other's station from bleeding over onto the other one.
