We can't get TastyKake here in the boonies of southern Virginia. Then again they don't know what good pastrami is either. LOL. As this is the list for WinterFest I know I should keep this on a radio theme. Regarding baseball games on FM, the prevailing wisdom in the broadcast and adv

With the Mets slipping to minor league status, it's a surprise that their flagship remains 50kW "clear channel" WFAN in New York. A 5kW regional (980-WOFX) that's carried them for years up here in the Capital Region recently announced it was switching to the Red Sox this year. Oddly enough, no

Phillies baseball games are being added to FM 94.1 (WIP-FM, the old WYSP) as of the coming season. 50 kW Clear channel WPHT (legacy WCAU) will still air the games as well, but it's one of those "signs of the times" that AM radio continues to fall out of favor. I grew up with a transistor radio un
