Manager: No programming decisions made yet By NIRVI SHAH Miami Herald After a powerful surge of demand for appliance rebates that quickly consumed more than half the $17.5 million available, it turns out Florida shoppers applying even late Saturday were able to snag a deal worth 20 percent off the price of a machine. The money was enough for about 72,000 rebates, said Bren-da Buchan, chief analyst in the governor's energy office. Latecomers can visit www.rebates.comflorida to join a waiting list for rebates. The Web site recorded the last rebate dollar was claimed at 11:37 p.m. Saturday, but Buchan said incorrect or incomplete applications, or those that don't follow the rules, will be thrown out, making way for people on the waiting list.

For example, she said, about 1,000 applications filed since the program began used post office boxes as mailing addresses for their rebates. "On all of our documents, it says no RO. boxes. We have been very careful about that," Buchan said. "It's a fraud protection." On the other hand, minor problems, such as a model number entered online that differs from what is on the application sent by mail, shouldn't be a problem, she said.

It's not too late for applicants to make sure their forms are filled out perfectly Most people applied for rebates by creating an account on the Web site then getting a priority number. People had to enter their addresses, the type of appliances they bought and other information. They can go back online now and insert a physical address and make sure that's what they use when they mail in their rebate forms by May 10, along with original receipts and serial numbers for the appliances. The rebate money came from last year's federal economic stimulus law In Florida, appliances eligible for rebates include Energy Star-rated refrigerators, freezers, dishwashers and clothes washers. Recycling an old appliance can bring in another $75 per item if consumers mail in proof with their other documents.

In 2004, Barry agreed to sell the stations to a consortium of the foundation and the parent of New York public station WNETTV. That deal failed, but the foundation still seeks a marriage.

Barry actually made several mistakes, Green argued: Splitting the radio and television station, selling to a group whose corporate parent is in Minneapolis and letting an all-classical station take over a station that mixes classical music with news and community programs. "We are not a Minnesota company We're Florida," countered Classical South Florida General Manager Douglas C. Evans, who lives in Palm Beach WXEL from IB for business and finance. Barry said it expects the proceeds to help pay down the millions it has laid out since it bought the WXEL complex in 1997, including a $2.5 million donation that essentially wiped out WXEL's debt and a line of credit from Barry that has fluctuated from $1 million to $2 million. Whatever's left will help operate WXEL-TV.

What would stop Classical South Florida from shutting down the Palm Beach County operation and airing its Miami programming in that spot on the dial? Edwards said nothing in the contract would prevent it, but Classical South Florida has "given us no indication of that." Murray Green, president of the Community Broadcast Foundation, termed the deal "a County "We haven't made any programming decisions." Green couldn't say whether CBF was interested in buying WXEL-TV. The 2004 deal left three other finalists: Boca Raton-based Florida Atlantic University, Davie-based Nova Southeastern University and Miami competitor WPBT, which has coveted WXEL for decades. FAU and Nova could not be reached for comment. WPBT President and CEO Rick Schneider said the radio deal could make it easier for Barry to finally yield to his station's overtures. He said no talks are under way but added, "I am open to it." Last year, the Palm Beach County School Board looked into buying WXEL for up to $4.5 million, but the deal never materialized.
