        WHAS is a former I-A station with just one big tower and one big
pattern. It was probably best known in recent times for continuing to do
music overnight, until just a couple years ago, after nearly all the other
old-time I-A clear channel stations (except of course WSM) had dropped
music formats. WHAS, which had been news-talk the rest of the day for some
time, kept doing an overnight rock 'n' roll oldies show, even taking
requests. First, I think, they cut it back to just weekends and now it's
gone, with talk on instead.
