Deletions
After two attempts to divest the stations, Birach Broadcasting has turned in the licenses of 1450 WBVA Bayside and 1540 WVAB Virginia Beach VA. The two stations were designated for a license renewal hearing in January due to the limited amount of time the stations were on the air over the previous decade. From the time Birach closed on its purchase of the stations on April 1, 2008 through November 30, 2017, WBVA operated for a total of 66 days from a temporary facility with 30 watts while WVAB has been on for 357 days during that same period with a 6 watt STA. Birach filed to donate the stations in July to MMTC Broadcasting and then two weeks later to Dr. Katrina Chase’s Believe & Achieve Family & Education Center.
