Seems like one of the "harbor" sites registered by CC would have gone live...

Welcome WHBA 101.7 The Harbor
- Thread starter Fenway1912
- Start date
I think wfnx started the internet stream again problaly till morning
Doing tech work maybe--
tweets: Signal is horrible 20 mi west, and I'm hearing processing changes. CC definitely has the keys and is making tweaks.(radioinsight)... Correct. The techs are probably in the process of linking transmitter in downtown Boston to Clear Channel's Medford studios.(bostonradio)

FWIW...talk1017.com still points to talk1200....could the WHBA calls just be a big pizza pie in your face......Hub Broadcasting Associates...a unit of Clear Channel Boston????
We don't know for sure who registered talk1017.com. It could have been a domain name squatter. Don't know..could even be someone at CC buying them privately to throw us off course too.
A solid signal now emanating from...Medford. Tweet:
>>Just confirmed from a friend - what we are hearing is coming from Medford - Lynn is offline

They did do a WFNX Lynn-Boston ID at 12:46 which sounded like a tech saying it.

We don't want WHBA 101.7 The Harbor
The arrival of WHBA, "The Harbor" is bad for Boston, and we want you to go away. WFNX, alternative rock, belongs on 101.7, not WHBA and whatever format it brings in. Mindich may have sold out to Clear channel, and it's too bad he didn't look for an alternative buyer when the offer was probably very high. I hope WHBA fails and we want WFNX back. The Harbor may be on the dial, but WFNX is in the peoples' hearts! WFNX was the best thing that happened to Boston, and we want it back! Go away, Harbor!

The Harbor is not welcomed
Having Harbor 101.7 is not welcomed and we want our WFNX back!

For whatever reason - Mindich kept WFNX separate from the Phoenix.
He kept the WFNX studios in Lynn when he easily could have moved them into his offices near Fenway Park.
He told WBUR 2 months ago he did not want to sell....but he had to.

By the same token - how was the station 'losing' money? I am sure the profit was way down but I doubt the station ledger was in red link.
I suspect that Entercom did offer more money for the license but Mindich held out thinking he could get more - but once Entercom blew up 93.7 Mindich had less options.

Going to http://www.theharbor1017.com redirects you to http://www.1017theharborradio.com/main.html which leads to a blank page reading "Access denied."
I wonder if this new station will bring back Ed Mcmann. He still does Afternoons via VT in Hartford on The River WHCN. At least that would be welcomed!
where the hell is the new station its almost 9 am still no new format what happend

No Clear Channel involvement until Phoenix Media gets its one big check.

So last night's technical difficulties were just that - technical difficulties. Carry on.
WFEX is still off as of 9:30AM, and I am receiving WXEX 92.1 in Merrimack NH. Mindich is probably done with 92.1 and turned the lights off. My guess is WFEX will be off the air for awhile until Blount takes control and gets the STL set up.
