>WNEG may have been in a situation to do it, but it just not that simple here in Sumner County, TN. It would take me 30 minutes to explain all the obstacles and hoops to do something like that here. It's more political here.

Georgia and South Carolina and their local governments probably match Tennessee in difficult and absurd practices and policies.  But getting into a debate over that serves no purpose.

Some of the stations in the list Kevin gave us are owned by or have been owned by Art Sutton.  I am camped out in geography that gives me a close-up view of the man's attitude toward radio and his methods of making it work.

I know it has to be difficult for you to walk away from your station for any length of time, but I can highly recommend that you consider a trip to his area.  See if you can get a few minutes of his time or one of his key people to share how they minimize the friction with local government.
