Someone, somewhere, within the area bounded by the Monongahela, Ohio, Kanawha and New Rivers,
will, at some point in time, turn on a radio.

I could be a real cynic, Freddy, and say that someone will actually find something, but WWVA is coming in quite decently much of the time up here, and WVAQ-FM is scannable on a car radio in the McKeesport area.
 
Doubt that. Didn't bite the first time, they'll be offered even less the next time. Unless someone makes a mega offer for 30 or so small markets, like Dean Goodman.
 
If you take into consideration CC's large debt amounts coming due in the next 3 or 4 years, they will have to significantly increase earnings*, sell a bunch of stations or "restructure debt". The bond holders might end up large share holders. This could (and should) be done with out bankruptcy it will be interesting.

* The economy seems to be improving and they might just pull this off

This not a negative about the Parkersburg cluster, It has value, sometimes hard decisions have to be made.
