WWHK/WNNH

Considering the current state of the industry, way too many stations and a not so good signal, I don't see this as a viable business plan.
Sometimes it's best to thin the herd.
 
I can't believe Goldman Sachs would allow 1/4 million-ish worth of radio stations (both, not each) to just die.
They can always simulcast something (WEMJ comes to mind) for a month and buy themselves another year of silence.

..agreed. We may never see 99.1 and 101.5 return to the air again.

I can't (and don't) speak for them, but that doesn't make business sense to me personally. The 55+ audience for Standards is the last group to still listen to music on AM. In such a small market I'm not sure there's enough profit potential compared to more mass appeal formats like Talk or a Jack-Mike-Sam-Ralph, etc.

And there you have it.
The advertising/business pie can only be sliced so thin. Thoughout the country there are 4 to 5 times as many stations with little or no business or population growth. Similar to having a donut shop on every corner, eventually some will go out of business.
 
WNNH seemed to be on the air this morning with dead air as I was driving north to Littleton. By the time I was headed back south in the afternoon, it was off.
 
And we all miss the Nassau Endless Loop they ran for awhile when the stations were being "sold".
 
did i speak too soon, or was I dreaming? I heard Classical Music (loud and clear) on 101.5 (the old WBHG,WWSS,WMRQ) one of the old Nassau stations in Meredith. I was passing through the Concord area.
 
Nassau filed yet another "extension of consummation" form with the FCC yesterday, using the same tax excuse as the other extensions. Methinks this deal is circling the drain, but I've been wrong before.
WNNH and WWHQ have 13 days to live. I'm sure they'll be back on shortly, albeit temporarily.
 
I'm faintly picking up Classical on 99.1 as WBach right now in Tyngsboro, Massachusetts.

Update: In the top of the hour ID, WNNH and WWHQ were included.
