WPTR/KXEL, and CNET Radio



Hello from cloudy California (albeit 50-something degrees
every day :-)

KNEW's new CNET Radio format did NOT debut on schedule 
Friday morning, though I did pry myself out of bed on
2 hours' sleep to start tape rolling on what turned out to
be 45 minutes of the KIOI morning show...no word on a new
date yet.

As for the 1540 situation, a data point from Rochester: 
Growing up, KXEL was the one and only occupant of the
frequency.  I don't recall that changing at all when CHIN
went 24/7...in fact, it's only within the last year that 
I've been able to DX CHIN at night in Rochester at all.
WPTR *never* made it that far west; we were deep in their
null indeed.

By day, it was a very very weak CHIN and not much else...
