Re: [IRCA] BBN AM 1280 & BBC AM 1160 Bermuda

["Paul B. Walker, Jr." <walkerbroadcasting@xxxxxxxxx>]

I am/was assuming with Defontes owned and operated tv and am, 1450 and fm,
106.1 going dark, so did 1160 and 1280 but have no actual confirmation. i
was assuming defontes footed the bill for those stations operating and that
bbn and bbc werent paying for it.. so when finances dictated the others
stations going off, bbn and bbc went with it.
