[BC] Station for Sale

[Rockwell Smith]

In the case of KDJQ, the one for sale in the Boise market, the owner 
willingly accepted the format restrictions when he leased the site 
and it is part of the lease contract.   Other sites are available, 
and if they were to vacate that site and use another, there would  no 
doubt be no restrictions, unless, of course, the station were to 
lease from another facility that wanted similar restrictions.    FYI 
- this only affects the night time site. As far as I know there is 
nothing preventing the station from developing it's own night-time 
facility, other than the cost.  They wanted to avoid zoning issues, 
hence the desire to use an existing site.
