I've always wondered what kind of political connections the former
owner of that station had, in order to "deserve" a waiver for the FM
translator.

IIRC, the 1160 callsign was WAMB when the translator began operation
back in the '80s (while Reagan was in office) -- so was the owner at
that time a major Republican campaign donor, or what?
