Re: WMEX to end all-local talk

["Kevin Vahey" <kvahey@mediaone.net>]

Actually I was hoping they would put Arnie Ginsburg on at 7 PM followed by
Jerry Williams and Larry Glick........ of course WMEX's signal is a tad weak
after sundown :)

More than anything it shows how it is next to impossible for a daytimer to
compete in a major market. The only one I can think of in this area was
WXKS-AM which showed up well in the ratings before they even got their mini
nighttime license. WILD also was able to carve out a nice niche, but overall
to be a player in this market you need full time service.

Joy Brown can only help them overall.
