If you cracked the books on both stations, I guess the numbers on the
Portsmouth signal were bigger.  Payroll couldn't have been that much
different.  Surprising that they didn't do more of a meshing of the
talent(s).  Maybe that's still on the horizon. Happened to hear the PM drive
sign off at about 6:50 last night.  Sounded like they were all in the tank
as they bcast from a bar somewhere saying buhbye.  No fear of career
limiting there!
