Wow... that really is a mess! It surprised me that someone as successful as 
"Cousin Brucie" couldn't make that station successful! After reading some of 
the articles, though, I can see why! It really surprises me that he would rip 
out so much of the station's local programming, only to "flip the bird". No 
wonder it failed.

Another article mentioned the local HS basketball & football... I wonder if 
that's part of the programming that was removed? No wonder it failed.

In one of the pictures, I see an RCA BC7 console! WFIF used one as the main 
on-air board for many years! I've only had to fix it a couple times during my 
tenure. My friend Paul Walker is still using one of those behemoths. ;)

Willie...
