I didn't know that James Jarrell aka. "Jimmy" of Jimmy's Car and Stereo owned radio stations. What's he going to do with a non-comm?

Found this on radio-locator, and it checks out with the FCC website, too.

Is this one and the same person? If so, looks as though he owns a non-comm already...

One in the same...if you look at the radio disc jockeys on their web site you will see a Robert Jarrell also.

and i recall correctly, WPIL is 1,000 Watts at 3 feet HAAT. Where's the antenna? Hung on the doorknob?

 

[b5]

It just sounds better when you say 1kw vs 370 watts! They basically have the same contour map.

I wonder what the new owner will do with WELL...

Probably what he is doing with WPIL.

You never know, I imagine if WPIL is able to bring in listeners and monetary support then it would make sense to have it on that format. He was doing talk and oldies if I remember right on the frequencies that he traded for this 100kw station and neither one of those will bring in listener support for a non-comm.
