I noticed a while back that WPTL is for sale, a small town 500w AM in the W. NC Mountains. The ad even mentioned that it is billing $125k. It seems like someone with local ties could make this station a moneymaker. I have talked with someone from the area and he said it is hard to get the locals to spend any money with radio advertising. Seeing that this is the only station running local programming you would not think that would be a problem, but I'm not from that area. The other two stations licensed to that area are satellite programmed out of Asheville.
