Sheridan Broadcasting Sells WAMO to Religious Organization

[Jay F]

Anyone notice WAMO is trending up in the ratings? People are listening while they can.

Despite the news coverage of the sale and 47,439 posts here, I'd venture that 90% of the audience has no clue any of this is going on.

Salem still has full time engineers in markets, maybe not in smaller stations outside of the major metro's but they have them.

Perhaps in NYC, LA, Chicago, and DC, but nowhere else. They dumped their Pittsburgh man after almost 20 years.

I have a friend in Minneapolis that is the Chief Engineer for the Salem stations in that market. He is still working full time.

Tossing your Chief Engineer out is for certain a recipe for disaster. When that position is responsible for everything that happens in the operation (making it work and FCC compliance) good luck when the automation dies and transmitter implodes. It'll be fun trying to find someone competent to repair it when there are no new personnel taking those jobs around the country, especially locally.

Nope. Still there and still one of the best there is!
