It's definitely Stow.

The map link shows a transmitter site just west of Strongsville.

I can't
see the FCC allowing Clear Channel to remove an operational station from
one market to put it into another.


It's been done before... WHMA-100.5 Anniston, Alabama moving to College
Park, Georgia (Atlanta suburb); KGYN-1210 Guymon, Oklahoma moving 200
miles to Oklahoma City (not yet implemented)...

I want to know what the point is. What are they going to put there? Someone
else owns the news-talker in Akron, they own ESPN 1350; Akron's a small market.
How many AMs do they expect the area to be able to support? There are a few
minor ones like WCUE in addition to 1350 and 1590 already.


Judging from the transmitter site their target market is Cleveland, not
Akron. With 50,000/27,000 watts they'll have a far better signal across
the city than probably anyone else except 1100 and 1220.
