WINW deleted; may be defunct?

[edit]

WINW is now listed in CDBS as "DWINW", meaning that the call sign has been deleted. Also, the license has been canceled. There is also an FCC inquiry from January (PDF) indicating that WINW was silent, but the station never reported as such even after the inquiry — in which the FCC warned of "adverse actions jeopardizing both the station's license and call letters," i.e. license revocation. (The station was silenced back in September 2010 due to theft of copper cables; I don't know if this has been a continuous silence.) This obviously calls for an update, but there's yet to be any indication of any attempt to keep WINW alive — or if it is gone forever (and as a class D license on the WWKB/KOKC clear channel, — not to mention just a mere 21 miles from WJMP, the other 1520 class D in that region — that means forever), so I'm in a bit of a rut here. --WCQuidditch 21:34, 10 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
