Don't think so, Bob... Sharon succeeded Ward Chamberlin as WETA's
CEO in 1989 and was on WETA's board for awhile prior to that
time. WETA-FM came on the air in 1970 well before Sharon's time
there. The underlying CP was granted much earlier and was extended
many times, as was the custom for a lot of stations before the FCC's
3-year buildout rule.
