According to this week's Scott Fybush's NERW:
Say goodbye to WJGK (1200 Highland): the never-built construction permit has been deleted from the FCC database at the request of permittee Hawkeye Communications. This ends (at least for now) a very long attempt by the Klebe family to build a station on 1200 in the Hudson Valley. Over the last two decades, that's included an attempt to move WGNY (1220 Newburgh) down the dial (the station actually operated on 1200, but was never licensed there), then a CP, cancelled in 2005, for WJGK on 1200 in Kingston, and then the current CP for 4700 watts day/1000 watts night from Highland, granted in 2005. That CP nearly ran out unbuilt last year, but was extended when Joergen Klebe's Sunrise Communications sold it (for $10!) to Hawkeye, controlled by Klebe's wife. But the economic challenge of building five new towers was apparently insurmountable, so now WJGK, version 2, is also history.
I wonder if WJGK would not be happening on 1200 AM anytime soon, but it ran nothing but static. No word on what station should be returning or not. It's up to them. WJGK was an unbuilt station for it's time.
