WAMC and NCPR Radio Reach Agreement

WAMC and NCPR have reached an agreement which I think everyone will be able to live with.
Under the agreement, WAMC will withdraw its current application for a full-power station at 91.7. If and when the FCC awards the license to NCPR, the existing translator license would be transferred to WAMC which will run it at a different frequency. The entire arrangement is subject to FCC approval.

Thank you WAMC

UPDATE: Please see additional comments on this issue at Adirondack Almanack and MOFYC.

Little Big Man folded like a cheap umbrella on a windy day.
No doubt as a result of the storm of negative publicity.
And the risk of alienating too many prospective listeners (and underwriters) were WAMC to end-up with even a small translator in Lake Placid.
And after all that tall talk of just a few news cycles ago.
This ought to be a big lesson for all those locales where WAMC is trying to encroach in a dominating way on other established public radio entities.
It pays to fight back.
