That is WFTN-FM, WFTN(1240 am) simulcasts WSCY(106.9).
Where can you hear Chumbawamba, Pearl Jam, Puff Daddy & Smash Mouth after Paul
Harvey?<g>  Believe me though, people tune in to hear Paul.  A few times when
our ABC satellite went down, or ABC would screw up the feed, the phone would
ring continuously for the next 20 minutes demanding to know where Paul Harvey
was!
