How's the WANN 32 upgrade going?

It's been 2 years since Sovryn Holdings purchased WANN for $5,262,500 and it's taken them that long to get their act together. They do have 6 channels running now, they're all just WEAK, uheard of, and not all that desireable: 32.1- SWTV (what's that), 32.2- ESTV (?), 32.3- FunRoad, 32.4- RNTV (?), 32.5- AceTV, 32.6- BarkTV (woof). It's probably not that easy programing a low-power station and perhaps grabbing something popular (say, like the 80's themed Rewind TV which is currently missing in Atlanta). The station would probably be more profitable by just running ads and sales channels. Grading on a curve, I'd give them a C+ for effort at best.
 
I'm not entirely sure the sale of WANN-CD to Sovryn ever actually closed. If it did, the station never filed a consummation notice with the FCC.

It was sold. My point is they paid a lot for this station (over $5 million) and what are we getting for it, BarkTV? WOW. This station would actually be a good buy for Weigel Broadcasting which currently has no presence in Atlanta (if they would be satisfied with low-power). They could put their sub-channels that are flying all over several ATL stations all on the same station.
