Re: [IRCA] What is going on with WVMC Mount Carmel IL? Correction

[David Faulkner <drdsfaulkner@xxxxxxxxx>]

We were too far north to hear WVMC when we blew through there two weeks ago.  All I noted was the Watseka that used to dominate the channel when I lived down that way.

I have several hundred pages that I copied several years ago from the BYB (2003/04).  They show that Wabash paid $85,000 for WVMC in 2000.  Selling it for $36,000 is quite a loss.  In that area, with its low population and given the limited coverage the station must have, plus its nonexistant prospects of increasing its power, keeping it on as a twin for the FM (which probably competes in the Evansville market) is probably the only way to keep it on at all.  (Withers must have bought the FM from clear channel after 2004).

WVMC is only 500 Watts and I can't hear it here in Marion, at least  haven't
heard it... I have a 1340 and 1390 pretty close to me. I will try next time
I'm out in the car.

I think I had read Withers bought the dark station for like $36,000 I think.
and I HAD read somewhere it was back on the air simulcasting WVMC, probably
just to save the license as I think it had been dark for awhile.
