Sure, you can go with that, no problem. But everyone else can speculate and make it their business. It may be a private affair, but for now it is a public asset (to the extent it actually exists).

And on the government's side, there is really no expense to them or the taxpayer as the FCC has staff attorneys who handle things like this as part of their regular job. It is the holder of the CP who will pay for legal assistance to try to hold it's permit. No harm done to anyone else.

In this case, the former permittee per the FCC. The "D" in front of the KWIF call letters stands for deleted.

Nurse Jeff and I wonder if Sweet James would take this one?

I will point out that your example of Tavis Smiley doesn't apply. Terms of a station sale, including the price, become part of the public record. However ...

This is legal action to request reinstatement of a CP that the FCC cancelled, and no member of the public has any right to know what the party bringing the action has spent on it. It is not, as you attempt to frame it, a "public asset", because at this point in time it does not actually exist.

Apples and oranges.

It is his right, just as it is anyone's, to pursue any and all legal recourse when one believes they have been wronged.

Your -- or anyone else's -- questioning the wisdom of pursuing this does not erase that right.

Good point, and just to pile on; this isn't a taxpayer waste of money. Broadcasters pay yearly fees to the Commission for the purpose of accepting and processing applications, along with maintaining of databases and associated paperwork. That, and an applicant is also paying big bucks to be represented by FCC lawyers. As Mr. Richards said; if they have the money to spend, who are any of us to complain?

alot of radio geeks/nerds/people have lots of ideas or complaints about how other people do things and spend their money but are un willing to spend their own to do things.We dont havr to agree with what someone spends THEIR money on... if it doesnt affect you, who cares? It's interesting to watch things unfold
