A big fall back today, practically all were big guns, and there was more evidence of down under than there has been recently. pretty darn good audio (all of it understandable by a native speaker, at least briefly): not today Reasonable audio at times during the period (much of it

The world of broadcasting today is not what it was. Energy costs are much higher. There are more stations in every market, and more stations listenable from outside. Formats have been condensed and with more stations and fewer formats there's more duplication. Add to that the fact that AM's

As a broadcaster first and foremost, Id rather lose a station and have it go off the air then have a station limping along doing no one any good. Broadcasting is a business and the only reason this station lasted as long as it did, was because I think the same family had it , like, forever. On

Nice job of putting words in my mouth and assuming what I meant. No, but this station needs some technical upgrades. (I heard the sign off aircheck someone made, and it sounded horrible) That combined with monthly operating costs and maintence make it a losing proposition. 50kw AM's don't

Paul, I'm not sure I understand. Are you really saying you want this station, or any station to close? Are you maybe mixing programming you don't like, or agree with, with having a station on the air? Regards, Vince Ottawa, ON >>Anyone who buys this old rotting RF heap of a radio station
