W54CZ Morristown, NJ and W27CD Stamford, CT where both RIPPED OFF from the original applicant and licensee, Zenon Reynarowich of Queens, NY by the wonderful car lot salesmen/management of WLNY. At least according to Zenon and according to reams of paperwork and lawsuits I have seen.
It seems that Zenon made a deal where he thought he was going to get a few bucks for the stations, but didn't realize that WLNY was going to deduct construction and operating costs fom the price of what they paid him, which turned out to be NOTHING in the end.
I remember WLNY giving him a new Hyundai automobile which rather quickly fell apart, then they wound up suing him to get him to turn the license over to him when he realized, according to his understanding that he was hoodwinked.
