WLGC AM has been off-the-air for months.

Is it officially dark?

Bueler?

anybody missing it?
Normally, the reason to operate a loser station like an AM would be to keep the competition out.
Now the economy is down, AM is dead and it makes sense to let it die.
Like the AM in Madison, WV, nobody misses it but radio geeks.

What kind of xmtr did they have?

The big kind. With fire-bottles.
Collins 21-series or Gates BC I believe. I'm leanin' towards Gates.
Nothing made this side of the 70s...either in decades or efficiencies.
Nighttime was a transfer-switch/LPB combo-platter.

It is a Continental or Collins but don't remember the model.

I thought you had to make an FCC app to take a station "dark"?

...and the Lord said, "Let somebody else pay the power bill".

WLGC back on the air rebroadcasting WTCR 1420.

Soon, every crappy daytimer in the country will simulcast the Clear-Channel satellite feed
for crappy daytimers. It will not be the Tom Rotten show.

When did WLGC-A become a Clear Channel station?

genlock · Post by **genlock** » Mon Jan 19, 2009 10:54 am

They are not.
But, I think WTCR is.

The tentacles have extended to Greenup and maybe beyond.
Beware!
