Beasley Media turned off 1660 WBCN Charlotte NC on December 31 following the sale of the station’s tower site to a real estate developer.
The Charlotte Business Journal reports that local developer Beauxwright purchased the 5.397 acre site utilized by 1660 WBCN and an adjacent 0.1 acre property for approximately $5 million and intends to construct townhouses on the lot.
The WBCN site was previously also the home of RFPJY LLC’s 1370 WGIV Pineville until the station lost its lease with Beasley in early 2019.
The “Fox Sports Charlotte” programming that had been heard on 1660 WBCN continues to be heard in the market on 94.7 W234BY Charlotte and 103.7 WSOC-HD3.
