	To keep up my broken-record broken-record broken-record role as a
cheerleader for the Joey Reynolds Show, I must say that I consider WOWO to
have great overnight programming because they're running that show.
Reynolds is on relatively few high-power stations and no other Class A
stations that I know of in the eastern U.S. at least, other than WOR. Due
to the extreme nighttime interference to WOR, even in its primary
groundwave area, I sometimes give up on it and listen to Reynolds on WOWO.
Driving from Connecticut to Massachusetts the night before Thanksgiving, I
had him on for two hours from WOWO because WOR's signal was totally trashed.
	Now, if someone will give me a street map showing the portion of
the city of Fort Wayne where WOWO will be listenable at night (if any)
starting pretty soon, I'll start house hunting <g>.

Have you patronized the skywave signal of an AM Class A station today?
