FCC Spectrum Auction and WQHA sale

In 2012, the Federal Communications Commission announced they were going to hold a voluntary Incentive Auction for a portion of the radio frequency spectrum that is currently used by Digital Television broadcasters across the country. WQHA's owner, New Life Broadcasting announced he would participate in the auction, since it was estimated the station would net somewhere in the range of US$127 Million, much more than it would be worth on the open market otherwise. Since that time the auction estimate has increased to somewhere between $95 and US$50 Million, with the auction currently scheduled to take place in early 2016.
