New Tenants at the Ghetto plex.
- Thread starter Kenny Atkinson
- Start date
I wonder if 100.3's move into the GhettoPlex is just a first step towards its eventual sale to one of the other two companies in the building? Sure would cut down on moving expenses.
OR......Maybe Davidson would like to be on the buying end, and perhaps pick up a signal from one of the other two companies?
Either way, 100.3 as a stand-alone doesn't seem like a good long-term plan for Davidson.

Davidson has a few other standalone stations - WXCT 990 in the Hartford Market which is running a Spanish Christian Format and WEMG 1310 which is running a Tropical Format in the Philly Market. Plus his new company Blackstrap has a stand alone in Boston - Sports/Brokered Religion WWZN 1510 and a stand alone in NYC mostly ethnic WSNR 620.
I can remember when Lite/WLKW were the only residents of the building....Telemedia had just spent a serious buck upgrading the building and building the studio and Gary D goes over to look at the new digs and refused to work in the studio until the put bullet proof glass in b/c of a rock that had gotten kicked up from the highway and dinged the window as they were there visiting....one of my favorite stories ever

110 CNN was out of Warwick on Jefferson BLVD.
WHIM the second comming was on Pavilion Ave in which I worked.Although we had a link to WWRX (103.7) to 75 Oxford st where I would get news from.
75 Oxford was listed as the main studio but we were at 49 Pavilion Ave with a hook up where we could broadcast from Oxford street by raising a pot on the board if we had too.

Does the parking lot gate still not work over there?
I remember on more than one occassion where I was trapped inside the Ghetto-Plex parking lot. The weather was so cold at times that the mechanical parts inside the gate opener FROZE! And then there was the part timer at Cat Country that stole my snow shovel, again leaving me stranded. Not to mention all the cars that were broken into in that horrid neighborhood when the gate was jammed open and would not close to secure the parking lot. Roland Company be damned. Man, those were the days.
Point being, I'd expect stations to be moving OUT of that building, not into it. I can't imagine that the neighborhood has gotten any better and I'm willing to bet cash that the gate is still effed up... 3 years later.
