KTRB SALE--GETTING CLOSE

Those who've known me all my life know that this is not a recent development.
 
I appreciate that most people would like to see this thread dry up and blow away. Anyway, I wanted to add a clarification to something I posted earlier. I said that the receivership's sole mission was to sell the station as soon as possible. Actually the marching orders were to sell it OR set up a brokered agreement to program the station. That may explain why a company that brokers programs, but does not own any stations would be involved in the discussions.

As an aside, I was curious about the transmitting site, so I swung by the bayshore area on the east end of the San Mateo bridge. There are two transmitting sites in that vicinity. One looks spiffy and professional, and one looks scruffy and tattered around the edges (actually sitting in an active landfill dump without the fencing and gating that I would have expected)). Those two sites would be the KFAX/KTRB site and the KTCT(KNBR 1050) site. Guess which one is which? I always assumed that the one closest to Hwy 92 was the KTCT site, but I was wrong. The clue was that one was a 5 tower array, and the other was a 4 tower array.
 
Something else that came out of my research about the KTCT site was that the plans to set up a higher power nighttime operation are moot because they are renewing an STA every 6 months that allows them to operate with the daytime parameters around the clock. This is happening because a Mexican station is causing excessive interference at night.
 
This KTRB is sale getting close B.S. has been going on since Dec 03. Is there a sale in the immediate future? Or is this going to be like KRON4 that was supposed to be sold and deal closed in the first quarter of 2008?

I like your idea though I am sure that most if not all KUSF listeners would rather see KDFC move to 860 so KUSF would return back to 90.3
