The only show that is live on 'TRY is the morning show.  AM Imus, FM
Local (Rick Mitchell).  As I understand it, all other dayparts are on
hard drive.  The jocks all do their voiceovers on the hard drive and then
go home (or do other stuff, whatever.)  It's a gas going to a family
picnic -- my cousin sitting in the back yard having a cold one, listening
to himself do mid-days...

And 'TRY-FM has a real signal problem in good part of the area.  Their
tower is in Duanesburg, far west of Albany and Troy.  They are licensed
to Rotterdam, outside of Schenectady.

>The AM, I agree seems much "beefier" recently, probably due to the
processing.  One day, I plan on making a stop at the studios on WTRY Road
off Rt 7 inNiskayuna to see if they are taking the processing off the FM
board or

I'm sure my cousin would love to talk radio with ya, Steve!
