Or even worse, they'll find that they can tune to 105.0 and get
nothing but static.

(Insert reference to the weekly Tonight Show feature in which Jay Leno
interviews people on a street corner in Los Angeles and finds that
nine out of ten Angelenos can't name the large country which borders
the US to the north...)

Of course, so far as I know, WBAL is still ``Radio 11''.  (With good
reason: WBAL-TV is on channel 11.  WBAL and WIYY are the last two
radio properties in the Hearst chain -- one wonders how long they can
survive in the current industry climate.)
