Even Republicans didn't listen.

Here in the DC area WGOP hasn't show up at all in the DC area Ratings
and were at the bottom of the Frederick, MD., ratings in the past 2
years. It appears that in order to make *any* money, they're going the
brokered route. The Greaseman is still on in the mornings but most of
the rest of the day is brokered. On weekends I've heard Michael Medved
which is interesting since he's no longer on live on WGOP during the
weekdays.

I (well, actually my kids) wish this station would go the Radio Disney
route. Barach, WGOP's owner, also owns AM540 in Pittsburgh which runs
Radio Disney and my kids love to listen to that when we travel up
there. It's a shame. They do have a decent daytime signal but nobody
knows they exist -- and the few that did know won't listen to the
brokered crap they're airing now.

And non-English brokered at that at times..

I gather that they are silent quite a bit of the time.

Their renewal is still on hold months after it would normally have been
granted.

The owner is trying to move both WGOP and his station on 540 on the eastern
side of Chesapeake Bay to Damascus, MD. (Not licensed to there of course).
I think it's very iffy whether a county building permit will be issued.
