Except that it's a class D, and you can't get a new class D. Nor, given everything else that's out there now on 1280, most particularly the 50 loud kilowatts of WADO in north Jersey, is it realistic to think that there's any way to squeeze even a minimal class B facility into Berwick on 1280. (At least not in a way that makes any economic sense at all.)

Looks to me like Kevin's strategy is the only one with any hope of keeping 1280 alive in the market. <P ID="signature">______________

I thought the halt was on new allotments. Regardless, if the station license was expired already...that still leads me to believe the sale is void.<P ID="signature">______________
