This posting yesterday, "1650 Portsmouth silent?",  from the WTFDA's AM 
list tells what Disney did.  For better clarity, skip my top posting 
and read Bruce Collier's original message first.

Wow. Clear Channel's KYHN in Fort Smith, Arkansas has been silent since 
the Spring 2008 floods inundated the transmitter site. If Disney's WHKT 
is off as well, the only US interference east of the Rockies would be 
KCNZ in Cedar Falls, Iowa. This would give those of us outside the 
Northeast a good shot at the Montreal and Toronto stations.  
  
[ten minutes later] Tuned to 1650 and CINA in Mississauga is very 
conspicuously mixing with KCNZ's weak talk! Strong enough on peaks to 
line up their Bollywood vocals with the webstream, running 15 seconds 
or so behind the AM signal. WHKT is indeed off. Thanks, Bruce!

I just read that Disney has taken 6 of their O&O's silent pending 
sales.   
Apparently the mouse is bleeding.  One of them is 1650 out of the 
Virginia Beach  
market.  If so, that's a big chance for us east coasters while this 
pest is  
off.  A deal to buy has been filed the at FCC for it, so it won't be 
long.  
RADIO DISNEY has taken some of its owned-and-operated stations silent 
and has  
asked the FCC for authority to remain silent while the stations are 
sold  
off. Among the filings are requests for silent STAs for KMUS-A/SPERRY, 
OK;  
KALY-A/LOS RANCHOS DE ALBUQUERQUE, NM; WCOG-A/GREENSBORO; WRJR-A and  
WHKT-A/PORTSMOUTH, VA; and WMNE-A/RIVIERA BEACH, FL.
