Dead Man Walking

Wyoming has a lot of legends, but they have one thing in common, they live on forever. KFNB owner Marvin Gussman fits that bill. One would think that Marvin Paul Gussman of 909 North Whittier Drive, Beverly Hills CA 90210, born March 13, 1938 and according to the Social Security Death Index, died May 10, 2008, would have gone the way of mere mortals. But that is not how legends go. According to KFNB ownership report filed with the FCC (BOA-20090227AAG) signed and sworn by Toni Lattea of Casper on February 19, 2009, 100 % Owner Marvin Gussman was still at the helm.  If he did go, then you might say the other entity listed, 0 % owner Wyomedia Inc would be next in line. Unfortunately, 100% owner of Wyomedia is, ta da, recently deceased Marvin Gussman.

The reason I even bothered to look this up was, knowing that Marvin had long passed on, was to find out who the new owner of KFNB/Wyomedia really was. You see, Marvin's partner and CEO at Marvin Engineering, is Mark Friedman. Mark was at one time the owner of Wyomedia, that is until he went to jail.  Since his crime involved lying to the Federal government,  he is not considered suitable to hold a broadcasting license.  That makes it a real quandry as to who is pulling the ropes, a dead man or a convicted felon. It seems mafia bosses have not decided yet whose name goes on the dotted line. As long as they can find people to lie to the Federal government, it's just not an issue.

Unless the FCC demands a Habeus Corpus, otherwise the legend of Marvin Gussman is secure.
