WQXR became WQEW on Dec. 2, 1992 and the standards format lasted until the end of 1998. ABC Disney entered into an eight year local marketing agreement (LMA where Radio Disney would be put on that 50,000 watt signal and the Times would handle the license, the log requirements and make sure the pr

I totally agree with your analysis of why Disney is getting out, how they paid too much for the stations and in the end, many of them will become brokered facilities. They paid $40 million for WQEW. It was an LMA which lasted for eight years. They won't get that today. Larry Stoler -Origi

When the LMA began between the New York Times Company and Disney, they did run some sports on WQEW for a short time. I believe that was brokered programming and they had to run out the contract with whatever team was buying the time. Many times in New York, sports teams have to be shared with ot
