Way back in the 70s, a religious broadcaster lost his license when he got in trouble with the IRS. Both his AM station at 690 and the FM at 100.3 went dark and remained dark as ordered by the FCC for awhile. The old call letters were WXUR.

But for the life of me I can't figure out how market #6 has no alternative rock stations but six urban stations! This is why I purchased XM last fall and have found a couple stations on the bird that make up for what is lacking on terrestial radio in the Delaware Valley. Other examples of this situation happening is WLIR in Garden City NY and WHFS in Annapolis MD (DC/Balt. market).
