Tower for rent?

[marker102]

Here is an interesting situation. A radio station advertising tower space for rent (on their main page). Let's not all jump on this one.. http://www.105theriver.net/The River Tower Rental.htm

Get as far as we do..broadcast where we do! :

I worked at a station that rented space on its stick to all kinds of businesses that needed reliable comms. We made good dough with all those antennas clamped onto our tower and their xmtrs stacked in racks down in our room. As long as they aren't exceeding the max height allowed on their license, it's a cash register ringing every month.

My point being that this is the first time I've seen an advertisement on a radio station's web site for such a service. I know everyone out there who has a tower usually rents out.

Oh, ok. Don't know why they'd do it on their page, unless they think someone with a lot of RF and no way to send it might be looking at towers. ?? Beats me ??

It seems to me that a bulk of the revenue obtained by Lane Broadcasting through the years was the rental of land as well as tower space. Doug Lane was known as a "Tower magnet" which partially explained why there seemed to be no urgency to have a full spot log.

Since Doug is now in jail, what happen to his land (for towers) that he owned?
