  I wonder if they will auction off equipment in the transmitter 
building? If so I want Dibs on a couple of vacuum variables in their 
parts storeroom. ;-)

Cumulus Media has put the land under its four-tower array for WMAL(AM), 
Washington, on the block.

The 75-acre tract in Bethesda, Md., is in a residential area and could 
be worth “hundreds of millions,” according to a representative of the 
real estate broker quoted by the _Montgomery County Sentinel 
<http://www.thesentinel.com/mont/index.php?option=com_k2&view=item&id=1632:washington-radio-station-acreage-up-for-sale&Itemid=766>_.

Cumulus Media took over the 90-year-old station in 2011 when it 
purchased Citadel Broadcasting for $2.2 billion. In addition to the AM 
signal, Cumulus also simulcasts WMAL’s programming on the former 
WVRX(FM), Woodbridge, Va., on 105.9 MHz; The directional Class B 
WMAL(FM) is licensed for hybrid HD Radio broadcasting, according to the 
FCC database.

The AM signal is 10 kW day/5 kW night, according to the FCC’s database; 
the station is also licensed to deliver a hybrid HD Radio signal.

WMAL’s towers, satellite dishes and a transmitter building are on the 
site to be sold. It’s not yet clear what would happen to those.

_Broker CBRE Group 
<https://www.cbremarketplace.com/listings/18773/Internal%20Documents/WMAL%20Investment%20Summary.pdf>_ 
hasn’t listed a price for the land. CBRE describes the tract as an 
“extremely rare in-fill development opportunity” in the listing because 
the tract sits near the Capital Beltway and 1-270.

The site, which is zoned residential, is surrounded by homes with an 
average value of $666,105 to $731,109, respectively.

CBRE is accepting developer offers for the WMAL site until March 12.

In another case of the tower site of a heritage AM being put up for sale 
as real estate prices exceed the value of the station, Cumulus Media 
accepted a $125 million offer last year for the tower site of KABC(AM), 
Los Angeles and hopes to finalize that deal this year.
