I guess I’m wondering how anyone would cost effectively rebuild a 6 tower array even with the core license being donated.
Again, as in Columbus, OH, where lib talk just dies, this is another signal hampered station that would struggle with just about any format.
I always go back to the Boston example of how well conservative talk does on a signal hampered station. Clear Channel’s 1200 AM frequency was a bust with Rush as it’s anchor. Being on AM is tough these days. Not being a blow torch signal is even tougher.
These signal hampered stations used to do rather well with Fringe Kook Talk (Art Bell, Chuck Harder, Alex Jones)
1200 did OK by day in many areas but I think many talk fans just spurn AM—though WRKO does okay; and the FM talker 96.9 may soon be changing format but it could be lack of good talent there (since Severin left etc.) Many prog talk fans
prefer NPR, on powerful FM stations.
