Although nobody with Fuller-Jeffrey will say so in public, it appears
that the station will simulcast WHOM-FM.  
Yes, WHOM already has a strong signal in this area, but Fuller-Jeffrey
has done this before (WOKQ-WPKQ).
Anyway, account reps at the other stations are taking notice...expecting
it will mean more of a local push by Fuller-Jeffrey's staff.
Thank goodness I don't do sales...one more thing to worry about. :)
