Disney Radio movin' on, movin' out of STL?

Could be. After spending hundreds of thousands of dollars upgrading the AM1260/WSDZ (formerly WIBV) signal, Secret Squirrel hears that The Disney Company is looking to unload their smaller markets, especially those with limited signals.

There's at least one East-side owner of radio properties who has the cash and the gumption to buy into the newly-fattened AM/1260 signal.

Or maybe he'll be satisfied with buying the worthless AM/1190 from Big League Broadcasting, with whom he has a meeting this week. Word is that BLB approached him for the deal.

Or is this monkey just collecting radio licenses and selling/LMA'ing the weakest off to ethnic/foreign operators?
