more delays Binnie,Shapiro,Nassau....

"...along the NEW HAMPSHIRE/VERMONT border, another delay in the closing of the Nassau sales to Bill Binnie’s WBIN Media and Jeff Shapiro’s Great Eastern (and subsequent spinoffs) has left the Upper Valley with two classic hits stations, at least briefly. Shapiro’s WMXR (93.9 Woodstock VT) flipped on schedule last Monday from classic rock “Maxx” to classic hits “Kool,” but Nassau’s WWOD (104.3 Hartford VT)/WFYX (96.3 Walpole NH) remain on the air for now with their own “Oldies 104.3″ programming, which was supposed to have gone away on Monday when WFYX was to have gone to Shapiro and WWOD to new owners who are moving the signal to the Burlington market. Wednesday’s now the target date for 104.3 to fall silent in the Upper Valley and for WFYX to switch to a WMXR simulcast."

Anybody have any insight on who will be taking the 104.3 signal from WWOD and what it will be up in Burlington?

The new owners are The Electromagnetic Company, They purchased WWOD (Oldies 104.3) and WEXP (The Fox).

Any connection to the company of the same name that owned WTSV AM/FM back in the 70s?
 
No. The 70s vintage owner of WTSV/WECM by the name of Electromagnetic Corporation was principally owned by Palmer Chris Dante.

However, a principal in the new "The Electromagnetic Company", is "Wild" Bill Goddard, who was a partner in Jeff Shapiro's original company, Dynacom Corporation, that did own WTSV/WECM (WHDQ) following Dante. Dynacom was acquired by Vox Media (I believe in 1999) of which Jeff was a partner and COO.

It's all very incestuous.

Meanwhile 104.3 as of 6:30 PM was still on the air and 96.3 was still simulcasting it. Any news if this deal has closed yet?
 
Binnie Media and Great Eastern will take control of the Nassau stations at 12:01 tonight (11/30). WWOD-FM will go silent then as well.
 
Blueberry Broadcasting has taken over 107.7 in Bar Harbor/Ellsworth and is simulcasting the oldies format of WBAK in Belfast/Bangor. Given that the area already has three oldies-classic rock stations, one assumes this is temporary . . . but as they say, "Never assume anything."
 
frank in nashua..when i wnet to website it said WEBSITE COMING SOON...?

ans WBACH is gone at 101.5 in Meredith. they're off,btw.
 
Now it redirects to Frank-FM in Maine..... The logo was up there a few minutes ago and it looks very similar to Rock 101's... It was red and yellow and it said "Rock 106.3 Southern NH's Home For Free Beer And Hot Wings"...
