Thanks for this info, Mike! I think I found that archived article by Googling "daily times" and "radio station barred." My favorite part is "Officials are aware the radio stations must cease operations at night, and they're not overly concerned about it."
According to a newspaper ad day before yesterday, 1120/1180 have now lined up SPONSORS for the night broadcasts.

BCR (am 1470) as an example is running little blurbs blasting school fficials for their perceived being locked out in the assignment process; pparently, they were shocked that Alcoa high went with a licensed aytimer rather than them when WBCR lost out to AM 1400 WGAP for Maryville ames. ind of crazy, and I wonder if eventually 1120/1180 will be haring from he FCC for this rather obvious breach of their licensing authority. _______________________________________________ IRCA mailing list [email protected] http://montreal.kotalampi.com/mailman/listinfo/irca Opinions expressed in messages on this mailing list are those of the original contributors and do not necessarily reflect the opinion of the IRCA, its editors, publishing staff, or officers For more information: http://www.ircaonline.org To Post a message: [email protected]
