Cumulus Media has turned in the licenses of four of the stations it took silent earlier this year.
1230 WSSO Starkville MS ceased operations on March 7. Formerly Sports “1230 The Team” with Infinity Sports Network programming 24/7, WSSO operated with 1kW day/night from a single tower.
1340 KRMD Shreveport LA ended broadcast operations on March 14. Previously the parent signal for AC “Lite Rock 100.7” K264AS Mooringsport, the translator switched to a simulcast of Country 101.1 KRMD-FM Shreveport when the AM was shut down. KRMD operated with 400 watts day and night from the tower that houses all of Cumulus’ FMs in the market.
1560 WLZR Melbourne FL also ended operations on March 14. It had been Sports “The Fan” feeding the still silent 107.9 W300DL Melbourne FL. WLZR operated with 5kW daytime from a single tower that also housed the translator.
1320 WISW Columbia SC went silent on March 26. The station was previously Sports “ESPN 1320” running the national ESPN Radio lineup with 5kW day/2.5kW night from a four tower directional array.
None of the filing included any statement explaining the license surrender. When Cumulus filed last week to extend the Silent STAs for many of the other stations it took off the air, it noted that it was either in the process of considering proposals by interested parties or in active negotiations to sell said stations.
