For $42,000, Educational Media Foundation sells its translator W213AO (90.5fm, New Paris, Ohio) to Rodgers Broadcasting Corp. No word on which radio station Rodgers will simulcast on the translator. One clue: Educational Media

commonalities make both "The O'Reilly Factor" and "Chelsea Lately" work you could be ready to pull off the kind of show we are looking for. Insatiable curiosity required. Amaze us with your demo, writing examples, and anything else
