[BC] RE: LPTV

[Mark Bulla]

If you're talking about that one that was on Ebay last week, I looked 
into the station on fccinfo.com, and it says that their license expired 
on 10/1/05.  It could be up for renewal (as mine is), but it's something 
to consider.

Looking at the equipment that they have, it wasn't particularly 
impressive.  Several satellite dishes and receivers, but all of it 
looked like it was analog.  With a lot of program providers going to 
digital, that isn't so great.

Also, I looked up their RF pattern, and it covers the city (Muskegon, 
MI), but really nothing else (unless you happen to be in Lake Michigan 
with a TV).

The seller didn't post anything about the transmitter, the transmission 
line or the antenna, which, to me, IS the television station.

I think that the only thing it really has going for it is the license, 
and if that really isn't there, with the equipment shown, it wouldn't 
really be worth much (to me).

Here's a link to the (expired) ebay listing:

I like the "big knob" audio board!

I need a rough guess, what a station might
be worth, barely breaking even LPTV, currently
doing christian, much of it sat feed.

Covers an area about 15k population.

They do not own the tower.

Thats pretty much all I have, I realize it is not much to go on.


Any rough SWAG's?
