Move To Malta
The move of 105.7 into the Capital District, originally applied for in 2004, has gone through several complications. Originally, the station had a construction permit with lease to broadcast from the Clifton Park tower used by WDCD-FM, WKKF, and WTMM-FM) which is owned by Fitch Communications of New York (FCNY) as a class A station. When finally built, the present Bald Mountain site was selected with an upgrade to a class B1, even amid concerns that Bald Mountain may provide less-than-optimal coverage of some growing suburbs to the north of the market's core.
When Vox sold their remaining Glens Falls stations to Pamal Broadcasting in mid-2004, initially there was a clause that would allow Pamal to get the first rights to buy the station as a move-in. This plan was slowed down by regulatory concerns with Pamal's revenue share in the adjacent Capital District and the potential that the signal that would have been sold if purchased (104.9 WZMR) would not able to find new ownership in the required amount of time.
Famous quotes containing the words move to and/or move:
“I was only one woman alone, and had no power to move to action full-fed, sleek- coated, ease-loving, pleasure-seeking, well-paid, and well-placed countrymen in this war- trampled, dead, old land, each one afraid that he should be called upon to do something.”
—Clara Barton (1821–1912)
“Comes over one an absolute necessity to move. And what is more, to move in some particular direction. A double necessity then: to get on the move, and to know whither.”
—D.H. (David Herbert)
