> And somehow, they are able to make some money. Yes, though the last I knew they only had one employee who ran the station sign-on to sign-off, seven days a week, 365 days a year. Not much payroll there. If I had to guess, I'd say that the rental for the cell phone antennas on the tower provides most of the income.

I did inquire about that some years back to the Radio Disney folks. They were unaware of that, nor was the guy who operates WDIS. I always thought it would be a good sale as that callsign doesn't really have any connection to their area or programming. Based on that, I don't think there was an offer to buy. Another quirky thing is they sign off at around 5pm most of the time, and earlier if the license requires it. Never stay on in the summer into the evening. I also think sign-on is at 6am.
