1480/WYZE-AM has gone dark after 38 years as gospel

He said he will either move location and re-open elsewhere or sell the signal. He said the 2.5 acres they own at 1111 Boulevard SE near the Beltline and the Atlanta Zoo could ultimately sell for a pretty penny.

“It went from being a bad part of town to being one of the best in just five years,” Bogan said. “So that’s a silver lining.”

Bogan said some parties have shown interest in buying the radio license and equipment.

He added that his gospel format made money, even on the AM dial. He sold time to ministers during the day and ran music during the morning and afternoon drive times. 
Earlier this year, 1690/WMLB-AM ("The Voice of the Arts") shut down due to financial issues. 
GHB Broadcasting, created by Bogan's late father-in-law and jazz afficionado George Buck, owns other radio stations as well.
