>"Big D 103" has been oldies for the better part of 15 years now.  At one 
point, they were Connecticut's hottest top 40 station, but, that's 
another story.  They concentrate mainly on the 60's and early 70's, 
whereas WODS stays mainly in the do-wop 50's.

signed off at  6:00 PM.  WTTT is a daytimer, but I don't recall that 
they ever signed off that early at this time of year.

1520 is WGAM Greenfield.  Another daytimer which has to protect WWKB 
Buffalo.
