Steve, in a much smaller market like NH, a 20 share is equal to a 5 or 6 in
a top 10, isn't it?

You ask most people in Southern NH to name the local stations, and (no
offense, Concord not being Southern NH) WGIR, WGIR-FM, WZID and WOKQ is
about it, recognition-wise, maybe WHEB.. (IMHO).

Heck, my hometown (Derry) is considered part of the Lawrence-Haverhill
SMSA, and therefore is statistically in the Boston Market, or so it would
seem.
Having never received a Diary in my life, nor a Accurating Phone Call, I'm
only guessing here...
