Meanwhile, the WPAZ PRESERVATION ASSOC., a local nonprofit group attempting to raise funds to revive the silent WPAZ-A/POTTSTOWN, PA, has indicated on its FACEBOOK page that "Financial backing has been secured and negotiations are under way with GREAT SCOTT BROADCASTING. All is looking really promising, and we're aiming to have some definite plans in place and signatures on dotted lines by the end of AUGUST. Stay tuned!"  The local online SANATOGA POST reports that a message from organizers RICK RODGERS and ROSS LANDY on the group's website said that GREAT SCOTT has "accepted our offer" for the station, which went dark on DECEMBER 10th, 2009.
