Re: 1520 KB-Radio in Buffalo (was: WALE of a deal?)

[dan.strassberg@att.net]

And in most of New York City on most nights, the signal 
is stronger than those of all but WOR and WINS. Since 
WFAN, WCBS, and WQEW have TXs within the city limits, 
there are some places (mostly in the east Bronx and 
northern Queens) where these stations are stronger than 
WOR and WINS. But generally speaking, WOR has the 
strongest AM signal in the city and WINS is second.

Since Entercom has the Red Sox radio rights via WEEI, I 
suppose the Sox could go on WWKB at no extra cost to 
Entercom. "No extra cost" should really strike a 
responsive chord with Entercom management.
