[BC] Station For Sale on Ebay

[Rob Atkinson]

I'm not that surprised at what happened to the owner.  after spending years 
watching the general manager of a small station barely getting by, no backup 
tx, relying on vols for night and weekends, theft, forever having to go to 
the bank and renegotiate loans, deadbeat advertisers and block time 
purchasers, daily crisis, people quitting with no notice, etc. etc., i 
concluded being a gm (or ownner) of a small station would put anyone in an 
early grave.    not a job i'd want.

The seller is dead.  He died of a heart attack after trying for years to 
keep the station on the air.  Now the volunteers-- and with minimal income, 
the current staff are all volunteers-- are hoping a wealthy person will pony 
up the cash so their station won't have to go dark (again)
