New AM for Columbus/Bexley

It's moving in from---get ready for this---

White Sulphur Springs, WV.

Look up WSLW at FCC.Gov for information.

Still application stage, two applications listed, one 3 tower with 250 watts, one 4 towers for 350 watts, not sure what is what here, though the lower power may be critical hours pattern.

considering the licensee is a "debtor in possession" at the moment, I doubt that it will get built, unless they find a buyer for the CP, if they get it.
 
Good. I really don't know what purpose that station would have served, especially at the risk of taking a small town's only station. We already see far too much of this.
 
Think "religion". That's about all you could accomplish with an AM peashooter like that.

A signal half as bad as 1230's during the day (1230's daytime signal is serviceable...now take half that away).

It will be no force in the market no matter what they program. Period.
 
I just checked and the FCC returned the application as "Improperly Accepted", which I assume means someone was asleep at the switch. So it ain't gonna happen.

WBLL, Bellefontaine, does still have an application on file to move 1390 to Grandview Heights using the WOSU-AM tower.
 
When an application is dismissed by the FCC, that means don't bother us again.
At least that was the definition given to me by a R.F. consulting engineering
about twenty years ago.

I don't think this should stop another group/person form applying for the frequency
again but that is unlikely.

I will probably take a lot of heat for being so cynical, but the other way to look at it is don't bother us again until your "lobbyists" show up at our door with a lot of money. Just take a look at all of the decisions that have been reversed for big corporations in recent years. The best current example is the XM/Sirius merger. The answer was NO in the beginning, then it became maybe, then probably, and now almost certainly. It's just a matter of time before enough money changes hands before it finally happens. Everybody has a price, and every government agency has a price. The FCC is no exception. The state motto of Ohio is "With God, all things are possible." The motto of the FCC should be "With money, all things are possible."
