Re: WOKQ on Broadcast.com

Sounds like you're working hard to get those numbers in the Cleveland book.

Actually, while on the subject, I've noticed that a lot of the feeds on 
Broadcast.com sound as though they are off the air feeds from the fringe of 
the market.  I've also heard that a lot of PD don't want to waste their 
time on them because they think that the only folks listening to them are 
out of the market and won't show up on their books.
