Re: [IRCA] WRLL 1450 Cicero/Chicago

[Mike Pietruk <pietruk@xxxxxxxxx>]

If I had to guess, Midway Broadcasting is hoping that Migala 
Communications (the family that owns WCEV) will pony enough $$$ to buy up 
the remaining hours they don't currently have.
Alternatively, Midway Broadcasting could themselves attempt to sell 
brokertime broadcasting which is what WCEV is.


What makes all this even more confusing is that I believe that Midway owns 
the 1450 transmitter which is housed at the current WVON broadcasting site 
on south Kedzie Ave. in Chicago.
WVON is supposed to soon be moving into new studios/offices on East 87th 
Street in Chicago.
WVON's move to 1690 is a lease arrangement with Clear Channel with the 
former having 5 years to purchase the frequency.
Depending on how that goes, or what opportunities Clear Channel offers 
Midway ownership in its company, Midway might just want to hang on to 1450 
as a fallback measure in the event things don't work out.
So there are a lot of loose ends here which still have to get sorted out 
in some way.
Because of its limited signal, 1450 is not exactly a good fit for WCEV 
either as many of its ethnic audiences have moved into the suburbs where a 
nightime 1450 would be filled with a lot of interference.
