I understand they've issued a press release on WSMN.
and don't forget, with all the bland cookie cutter voicetrascked stale white bread radio out there...the move toward local, news and information community stations could be on a return themselves.

Nashua can barely support one local station, never mind two. A tower site for a new station on 1590 would be a problem. The other problem would be listeners. Gone are the days when people would flock to a new station just because it offers any local content, or flock to radio at all. Maybe 30 years ago, but not today. The very though of radio being a dependable source for local news is nostalgic but not practical in these days of dwindling advertising revenues and website news surfers. Another point is Nashuans themselves. The growth of Nashua is due to the arrival of former Massachutsetts residents who also brought their listening habits (Boston stations) with them. They identify with beantown radio before they'd identify with any local Nashua radio. Until the 80's (before the building boom in Nashua), most native Nashuans would listen to WSMN due to their long standing devotion to local news, and sports. WOTW AM &FM managed to scratch out a meager existance always trying to catch up being local. Those days are long gone. The fact is WSMN's listeners have since died. So has live, local radio radio everywhere, asside from morning drive if you're lucky.

Fact- It is coming back...application for transfer of ownership is on file at the FCC and some day soon 1590 will be active again.
