Four silent St. Louis area AM stations which were formerly owned by a shell company (allegedly) belonging to Bob Romanik will be auctioned off by the FCC in July. Romanik, a convicted felon, is the self-proclaimed "Grim Reaper of Radio", and is prohibited by FCC rules from exercising control over the stations. He was ordered to take the stations silent after an FCC investigation showed a history of "serious issues" on the part of the licensee.
