WLAY AM and WVNA AM off the air for a while. Lost the combined transmitter site. Equipment dismantled and stored until new site found and stations rebuilt.
 
I recently explained in another post why it's foolish for AM's to have leased transmitter sites.

How did they "lose" their transmitter site? The fact that it's combined tells me that they must have lost at least one other site in the not too distant past.......
 
WLAY was co-located a couple of years or so ago to the 1590 site to get off the 1450 tower/lease. Spent many hours with other CC engineers rebuilding the site and getting a pattern that had not been compliant for decades back in. The site was in pretty good condition and compliant when CC sold the cluster. Not going to speculate the reasoning for abandoning the site. Knowing their engineer, he will get them back on from a temp location soon.
 
Did 'LAY have any advertisers? I wouldn't think that format would not appeal to most people, all local music and blues on the weekends.
 
The people who run those stations have no business being allowed to operate a radio station. They ought to be taken away and given to someone who knows how the hell to run a business. It's ridiculous whats become of this business.

They recently fired the one and only guy who actually knew what he was doing and gave a crap about the place, now look where they are. Stupid effing dumb masses.
