	Printer Friendly Version - Disney buys WEVD for 78M (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-15)
		WEVD, whose call letters represented the initials of Eugene V. Debs, was founded in 1927 as a memorial to the Socialist leader by a group that included members of The Forward Association.
		Disney had an option to buy WEVD since it began paying to put ESPN sports on the station last year, replacing a talk lineup featuring Bill Mazer and former Mayor Ed Koch.
		The association previously was paid $32.5 million by the Spanish Broadcasting System to move WEVD from 97.9 FM to 1050 AM - part of a complex shuffle in 1988 that also bumped all-sports WFAN from 1050 AM to its current 660 AM.

		WEVD operated 86 hours a week, yielding early mornings, 6-8 PM, and most of Sunday to WBBR, and yielding Monday nights to WHAZ up in Troy.
		The WEVD that appeared on 1050 in 1988 was not a continuation of the 1330 WEVD.
		SBS's plan was to swap the 1050 signal for WEVD's 97.9 FM (with WEVD getting some cash in the deal as well), but for a few months until that end of the deal could be consummated, SBS was permitted to operate 1050 as WUKQ with a Spanish format.

	ESPN versus WEVD
		That is when the rumors began to surface that the venerable WEVD radio station was going to be sold and then turned into an ESPN sports station.
		Managers at WEVD (1050 AM) began drifting into mysterious meetings, and top executives at the Walt Disney Company's ABC Radio began boasting to others in the industry that they were going to buy the station in order to bring ESPN Radio to New York City.
		Selling WEVD would give the Forward Association a profitable escape at a time when Disney is working hard to find ways to get ESPN Radio into New York.

		At midnight on Aug. 31, WEVD will be swallowed by the monstrous Disney corporation and become the 181st station to syndicate its ESPN Radio, in a two-year leasing deal with a $78 million buying option.
		Some argue that WEVD is the last liberal/progressive counterweight to the right-wing racist-friendly stations like WOR and WABC (dubbed "WKKK" by ex-host Joy Behar, before she got herself lobotomized for The View).
		But if WEVD isn’t a hate-fest like WABC and WOR (though New York’s Palestinian community might want to weigh in on that), it harbored no compunctions about selling airtime to a viciously racist wildebeest like Beth Gilinsky of the Jewish Action Alliance, aka the Jewish Asshole Alliance.

		Long before there was FM, there was WEVD, which was at 1300 kHz in 1929, according to some Federal Radio Commission station lists I have.
		(WEVD went on the air in 1927.) As for WHN, it was living at 1010 kHz in 1929, and there it remained throughout the 1930s.
		WEVD meanwhile had moved off of 1300 in the 40s, and was now at 1330, with the same owners as before.

		WEVD 1050, with its mostly brokered-time format, was quite profitable, and those profits went to support the newspaper.
		However, even the cash that WEVD threw off plus the earlier "endowment" (from trading the FM for an AM) couldn't support the newspaper business indefinitely.
		But since Disney now holds an option to buy WEVD, it looks as if Forward has run out of radio properties that it can use to support its newspaper habit.

	View From The Middle
		According to David Hinckley’s column in the Daily News recently, the last host to be heard on WEVD will be veteran broadcaster Alan Colmes, who was the final host at the demise of WNBC, another even more historical New York radio station, a few years ago.
		Since he and my mother (the original piano-playing "Lady of the Ivories") were professionals, they found those opportunities would be better at a radio station farther west, and my father accepted a job as associate musical director at WLW ("The Nation’s Station") in Cincinnati, Ohio.
		Because of that fondness I feel not enough is being said about the demise of such one-time communications giants as WEVD and WNBC, although I must admit my pride in being at least a small part of the life of one of them.

		No matter what the quality of the broadcasts are, WEVD's Yiddish language programs are the _only_ ones that exist in New York.
		By allowing the Yiddish shows (and other foreign language programs) to die of benign neglect, the station is, for the first time in its history, making a profit.
		Ironically, as the once-Socialist WEVD is no longer "red" in its outlook, it is no longer operating _in_ the red, either.
