It seems kind of odd to shut the station down because of a transmitter
failure. Maybe the station has been losing a lot of money and this was
perhaps a good excuse to pull the plug? I would think the license and
facilities are worth a couple hundred thousand, even in Scranton in a
downer economy, and a replacement transmitter would cost - what -
$10,000? It seems like a prudent expenditure to protect their
investment.
WARM is or was a 5kw station at the bottom of the dial, so it should be
worth something to a potential buyer, even if the owners need to unload
it at a fire sale price.

It certainly would be a shame if WARM 590 is gone. It was
such a great station in previous years when owned by
Susquehanna. Is it now owned by Cumulus?

I've read that WARM-590 in Scranton, PA is silent due to
economic conditions and a transmitter failure. Supposedly it
won't be back on the air. Has anyone noticed this?
