The Lutheran Church has been denying for years that it planned to sell the station (one of the last classical music stations in the US, and a 100 KW Class C to boot). People donated money for years, even as the Church planned to sell them out. Anyone who said this might happen up to now was was ruthlessly flamed.

Guess what *I* said? :)

The station at 99.1 was one of the last refuges of sanity for radio listeners. It owns prime FM spectrum, and can be reliably received sixty miles out.

I sense one of the major ownership groups moving one of their weak signals to 99.1. With the current state of the market, they may get a bargain price.
