This is per AI OVERVIEW:
"AI Overview
As of June 2025, WAZN (1470 AM) is still broadcasting. It is an ethnic radio station in the Greater Boston market, licensed to Watertown.
However, there have been some changes in its operations:
Closure of Local Studio: The local studio in Woburn that served WAZN and its co-owned station WLYN 1360 has been closed.
Layoffs: The manager and chief operator at the Woburn studio were laid off.
Automated Programming: The station is now broadcasting an automated "60s-'70s-'80s oldies/classic hits" format originating from New York City. This is likely a placeholder format while the owner, Multicultural Radio Broadcasting, considers other options.
Spanish Christian Programming: As of February 1, 2016, WAZN broadcasts a Spanish Christian language radio format.
It appears the station is currently in a state of transition regarding its format and operations, but it has not ceased broadcasting entirely".

General Radio Discussion / Re: Appeals Court halts VOA's return and RFE funding
« on: May 27, 2025, 1648 UTC »Things don't look promising for VOA as of yesterday, at least for now--
On April 23, a DC District (trial) Court judge granted most of the preliminary injunction, in favor of the VOA employees: https://primarynewssource.org/wp-content/uploads/show_public_doc-3.pdf
Then on April 3, the DC Circuit (appeals) Court largely stayed and dissolved most of that preliminary injunction from the District Court, allowing the administration to proceed with their dismantling of VOA:
And most recently, on May 22, the same DC Circuit (appeals) Court refused to reconsider that stay of the injunction, allowing for ongoing open season on VOA
Did you mean May 3rd?
