Re: WJIB-AM Program Developments

I agree with you Donna, it is commendable to allow such opportunity to some
who would never get on the air. While I don't know Chinese and would never
listen to it on WJIB, I liked the college stuff when I caught it when it was
on. It wasn't bad programming and the kids seemed really into doing air when I
listened. Even though the signal is small at night, I easily got it both here
in the North End (where a lot of stronger evening signals don't even come in,
for some strange reason), as well as at home in Mission Hill, so there is
decent urban coverage at night.

 kinds of programming at night, and I commend him for making the frequency
 available to college students, ethnic groups, etc.  It seems to me that Bob
