    Beasley is selling its Eastern North Carolina cluster to Don Curtis for $11 million. Over the past couple years, Curtis has slowly been building up a dominant presence all across North Carolina.

    L Oh yeah , I see that now, ‘ Beatles’ That was funny too, and I didn’t even notice : ) Thanks Fred,
    Hey, I have been listening to ‘Chris’ this morning , I guess I have been laughing way too much, ( and obviously not paying attention to typing) but supposedly laughing is good for your health : )
    I gave you credit for the ‘Ron Paul’ , : )

      He ( Noory) acts all friendly, but he don’t like John B. Wells. They made a huge mistake on letting Wells slip away. ( But we all know that )
      I guess I look at the repeat broadcast of ‘Coast to Coast’ at 9pm on CFMJ as just ‘filler’ if there isn’t anything on Hagmann and Hagmann worth listening to at night.
      Although I like the ‘UFO’ report guy ‘Peter Davenport’ that does updates at the beginning of the show.
      I guess I ought to break down and get a subscription to John B.
      KYAH doesn’t broadcast his show anymore.

      Did I mention I am annoyed with work these days? I try to be positive, but they make some of the craziest decisions.

        He (Noory) had problems with George Knapp also… of course, the reason is because those hosts were much better than Noory, and the audience knew it (particularly former Art Bell listeners).

    AP is suing Laura Ingraham’s Lifezette
    https://www.lifezette.com/about/meet-our-editors/
    For bouncing a $40,000 check over licensing the AP news feed

    Undoubtedly Ingraham has a reason, but now she gets dragged into court

      By then, they will be broadcasting from their attempt to use a dipole antenna.

      Mary Berner is raising the mayday signal to Wall Street. A judge rejected the attempt to restructure their debt. After the 5:1 reverse stock split, the stock is back down to $.62 a share. The end is very near.
