[BC] Band Migration

[Robert Meuser]

I will go back to my original point. Your owners knew this going in.  That was 
part of the terms of the deal, so either live with it or sell to the next sucker.

I have worked at similar daytimers on clear channels it is life. In a few cases 
we found work arounds. If we had the same format as the clear, we had a remote 
receiver on a dial up 30 or 40 miles away. We synchronized programming to the 
clear and did a fast minimally legal sign off and carrier cut to hit their next 
jingle. To the listener this gave 24 hour service.
