FCC Report 3/29: Ownership Waiver Sought For St. George Upgrade

License Cancellations After filing for its license to cover and receiving an informal objection alleging that the stations antenna was not constructed, the site surveyor may not exist, and an inappropriate transfer of control may have happened, The Marconi Broadcasting Foundation quickly...

WMAO will probably be back, though maybe not with NPR programming (There is at least one other thread about this elsewhere on the site.) And I'm not really surprised about WFFF. While the station did have a website at one point, it never did stream its signal (too expensive for the owner) and, with thee slow demise of the AM band, it was never able to get traction with advertisers, either.
 
Roger on all that, thanks for the info. IMHO, not a bad thing if the noncom comes back without NPR programming. I also understand on the latter. To quote an old friend and personally elaborate thereon, I don't have a dog in the fight, just trying to report news and thereby, promote site activity.

If you didnt have a dog in the fight or opinion about it, "it wouldnt b a bad thing if a non comm comes back without npr programming".. that is a very slight but obvious dig at NPR

In an area thats VERY red that drinks the fox kool aid, its said to see it might come back without NPR and factual news that is broadcast with out opinion (ive lived in the mississippi delta aAND worked elsewhere for a public station... have you? i dont think so)
 
Although I'm not into NPR, they still have a right to exist. How would you like it @Josh Owens, if someone were to take away your favorite radio station(s) and say you couldn't have it any longer. I don't think you would like that. I know for a fact, if someone were to force mine off, I would be at a great loss. Look at it like this, I have a right to Jesus Radio, @SomeRadioGuy has a right to his and you have a right to yours. You may not agree with content with mine or his but as free country, we both a right to exist, just like you do. If NPR isn't your thing, then don't listen. If my own programming isn't your thing, then don't stream me. When one tells others what they can and can't have on the radio, that makes us a dictatorship and that's something I detest and will not support period. Whew, what a mouthful @SomeRadioGuy but I needed to say that. Hope this dude gets it and understands my point of view.

P.S. Now back to our regularly scheduled programming.​
 
To @SomeRadioGuy or anyone reading. If this dude was given a opportunity to run a small LPFM, as an example and it was located in a city that's majority black, I wonder what would he do with it. I can promise you, if he didn't serve the majority with some airtime and play songs for them, this broadcast would be destroyed and silenced with a matter of weeks. You must understand that the radio can't be about you all of the time. I had to learn that one the hard way, thanks to God stepping in and having His say in it. If someone were to allow him to run a NPR styled station and it was doing very well, would he yank the program and piss off those, that are supporting this content? I would leave the NPR shows alone and give to those that wanted it. To say that a radio station must bow to you, is foolish indeed. As for me, I know what works and intend to keep at it. Long as NPR is able to stay on, let them do it.
