After selling its 26.9 acre tower site to McHenry Community College and going Silent last August, Newsweb Corporation has surrendered the license of 850 WAIT Crystal Lake/Chicago IL.
The AM daytimer operated with 2.5kW from three towers on the site with brokered Spanish Christian programming as “La Promesa” until ceasing operations. In its filing with the agency Newsweb’s attorney stated the company has permanently ceased operations and CNC does not intend to file an application for the renewal of the WAIT license, which would be due by August 3, 2020. When it first went silent in 2019, the company was seeking alternate sites to move the station to.
