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

["John Callarman" <JohnCallarman@xxxxxxx>]

If WVMC-1360 is on the air, Paul Walker can easily find it on the dial from his location in Marion, Illinois, not far from Mount Carmel.

The FCC data base and Cavell-Mertz still show DWVMC, licensed to Wabash ... 

StreamingRadio.com website shows WYNG (FM) in Mount Carmel owned by Withers, but does not show the AM station in Mt. Carmel among his holdings.

The WYNG website, http://www.wyngfm.com/<http://www.wyngfm.com/>, makes no mention of 1360. Nor can any mention of 1360 be found on WYNG's Facebook Wall: http://www.facebook.com/pages/WVMC-1360-AM/123900857626694?v=info#!/wyngfm?v=wall<http://www.facebook.com/pages/WVMC-1360-AM/123900857626694?v=info#!/wyngfm?v=wall>. 

I have e-mailed my former boss to see if I can get the lowdown.

There may be an STA, I'm guessing. STAs don't show up in the readily available FCC data base.

Withers has a strong national presence in the broadcasting industry, and an astute knowledge of the politics of broadcasting. He was among the leaders of the movement to enable AM stations to be relayed by FM translators, telling me of that effort during our last conversation in February 2009 in Mt. Vernon, Illinois, his base location.

Here is Withers' bio from the NAB website:

This broadcaster knows what he's doing.

  bizarre.   if you sell everything off, especially a license, I would think
  that would be a chapter 7 bankruptcy - liquidation - and the trustee or
  receiver would do it.  I assume they filed chapter 11 bankruptcy, sold the
  equipment,  and then the operator confused, didn't go thru Wabash legal if
  it even existed, sent the letter not realizing someone else was moving in.
  when Winter's legal found out they got Wabash to send the letter.  imagine
  Winter buying a license that didn't exit.
