WCOJ Sold

DToTheJ

DToTheJ

This week, one half of the owners of WCOJ's parent company, Route 81 Radio, sold off their interest in the company.

What does the future hold for West Chester's premier talk radio station? Less local, more syndicated stuff? A flip to satellite oldies, perhaps?

Can't wait to hear what Mr. Henson has to say about this...
 
Curious, price?

I picked up WCOJ here at the Ocean City shore Sunday. Crystal clear, like a local. Then, unlike Buddy Holly's song, it did fade away. About 2pm.
 
Don't know if "sold" is the completely correct word. It's too bad, but since they let the transmitter fall into disrepair and then allowed a station in DC to go to 50k without exception, it isn't unexpected. Someone should try to grab all the "ring am's" and do some sort of suburban syndicate.
 
1420/WKCW is only 22, 000 watts. I’m sure the engineering study took into consideration of the allocated 1420/Coatsville pattern, not the efficiency rating of WCOJ’s current output status. However, If WCOJ has been on the ball in earlier years perhaps they may have captured a power increase. But that prospect seems gone to the territorial squeeze by WKCW. Who is the CE there anyway? Maybe he can enlighten us on the subject.
 
Actually, they did get notice but the CE never did anything with it. He's not there now. (But he did last longer than the PD, OM and a couple of GSM's before they caught on...)
 
Tying together the suburban AMs for a regional network was attempted 12 years ago, and with a big-name (at the time) Philadelphia anchor talent.

It was virtually impossible to get each individual set of management on the same page.

Not sure how that would work today, but in 1996, no one was interested unless there was an actual check for brokered airtime. And in 2008, no one with a sane mind would pay what many of these stations think they're worth.
