You know the old KAST 92.9 was sold to Salem in Portland for and
then they moved it over to 93.1. A BIG cash cow alright. The same is
true for 104.5 The Dalles going to Metro Seattle in the near future.

By Paul's posting on the New NW BCers at 30-35 stations, they have sold
off a lot of stations in the past few years. They were on their way to
100 stations. The value in selling stations is there, but selling ads
isn't.

One UHF station -- in Houston or Florida, I think -- sold its license to a
company that plans to use that spectrum for broadband wireless data
services. So if the company's technology is viable, I guess selling out
could be an option for some low-power stations that can't justify going
digital.
