Re: More on WPTR

As far as I know, Crawford has one more AM in New York 
State to switch over to the Legends format--1390 in 
Syracuse, a very good signal, especially since the TX 
was relocated half a dozen years ago. In fact, if he 
flips that one, he may have put a Legends format in 
every market in the country where he owns an AM. Does 
anyone know what his plans are in Syracuse and whether 
there are any markets in which he owns AMs but in which 
none of his AMs is running the format?

One thing he doesn't seem to be afraid of is entrenched 
competition, although, in Denver, where his KLZ is up 
against KOSI (I think those are the calls), he has by 
far the better signal. In Rochester, I think his AM 990 
is pretty much at signal parity with 950, the 
established AS station, even though 990 runs 5 kW-D/2.5 
kW-N vs 950's 1 kW-U.
