A few days ago, I hear WCKL went off the air, because WCZR is running "Cruisin' 93.5" without simulcasting on 560 AM. That's a bummer! I hear nothing but static.

WCKL Off the Air
- Thread starter disney fanatic
- Start date
WCKL's owners have been playing this game since the day The Black United Fund took over. However I copied this from their application to the FCC to go and remain silent as of 06/30/2006 filed on 07/12/2006. Perhaps there is light at the end of the tunnel for this frequency .
Exhibit 1
Description: JUSTIFICATION FOR TEMPORARY SILENT AUTHORITY
AS RECENTLY AS EARLY JUNE 2006, BLACK UNITED FUND OF NEW YORK, INC. ('BUFNY') BELIEVED IN GOOD FAITH THAT IT WAS PROGRESSING TOWARD THE EXECUTION OF AN ASSET PURCHASE AGREEMENT ('APA') AND A TIME BROKERAGE AGREEMENT ('TBA') WITH A PROSPECTIVE BUYER FOR STATION WCKL. INDEED, THE STATION, WHICH HAD BEEN TEMPORARILY DARK, RESUMED OPERATIONS ON MAY 30, 2006, IN ANTICIPATION OF THE COMMENCEMENT OF THE TBA. HOWEVER, WHEN THE PROSPECTIVE BUYER FAILED TO DEMONSTRATE ITS FINANCIAL ABILITY TO PERFORM UNDER EITHER THE APA OR THE TBA, BUFNY TERMINATED ITS DEALINGS WITH THAT PARTY AS OF JUNE 14, 2006. ACCORDINGLY, BUFNY'S BROKER IS NOW CONTINUING HIS EFFORTS TO SECURE A QUALIFIED BUYER FOR STATION WCKL. IN THE MEANTIME, HOWEVER, BECAUSE BUFNY DOES NOT HAVE THE FINANCIAL ABILITY TO KEEP THE STATION OPERATIONAL, WCKL WAS TAKEN DARK ON JUNE 30, 2006. IT IS BUFNY'S PLAN TO RESUME STATION OPERATIONS UNDER A TBA AS SOON AS PRACTICABLE AFTER AN APA AND TBA ARE NEGOTIATED WITH A QUALIFIED PROGRAMMER/PURCHASER, AND TO APPLY FOR FCC CONSENT TO THE ASSIGNMENT OF LICENSE OF WCKL. SEVERAL INQUIRIES HAVE BEEN RECEIVED FROM PROSPECTIVE PURCHASERS IN RECENT WEEKS. THUS, BUFNY REMAINS OPTIMISTIC THAT THE STATION OPERATIONS WILL BE RESUMED UNDER A TBA IN THE NEAR TERM. THUS, TEMPORARY SILENT AUTHORITY IS WARRANTED IN THIS INSTANCE TO ALLOW BUFNY THE NECESSARY TIME TO SECURE A NEW PRORGRAMMER/PURCHASER PARTICULARLY AFTER BUFNY'S GOOD FAITH, BUT ILL-FATED, PROTRACTED NEGOTIATIONS WITH A PARTY THAT ENDED ON JUNE 14, 2006.
