I was under the impression that CRN owned 1660 when it was run by John
Lynch. They bought a few expanded band stations.


Well, AM 1660 was supposed to be the X-Band partner of Elizabeth's AM
1530 WJDM (formerly a REALLY cool all LOCAL rock oldies daytimer).

AM 1530 later went leased-access in the mid-late 90s and then started
AM 1660 which was hooked up with the kiddie-pop Radio Aahs network.
Call letters were WAHS.

When that folded, AM 1660 was supposed to be bought by Catholic Radio
Network and the calls were prematurely changed from WAHS to WBAH.

When the sale to CRN fell through, Radio Unica stepped in and bought
both AM 1530 and AM 1660.

They kept the leased access (now mostly Spanish religious) on AM 1530
and upgraded the AM 1660 night signal so that now we have a solid
signal day and night on that wavelength.

Radio Unica also moved the station closer to NYC...so now it's WWRU
Jersey City instead of WWRU, EEE-lizabeth. :-)

I just want to know if Radio Unica plans on returning the AM 1530
licence to the FCC any time soon....I think it's been longer than the
requisite five years for doing the "choose one" thing, right?

Or has the FCC forgotten about that?
