Re: NorthEast Radio Watch 8/28: Moncton Radio Explodes

[Dib9@aol.com]

I was in Augusta today and was able to hear sports on "The Score" on 93.5, 
96.7, 107.9 and 1140.  Seems like a waste of airspace and electricity to me, 
but it certainly saves money on staff!  What's next?  Simulcast Sports on all 
their stations in the market.

Anything new on the financial troubles of Cumulus?  Is the company going to 
survive?

 at All Access report this week.  WCME (96.7 Boothbay Harbor) and WCTB
 (93.5 Fairfield) are dropping their country simulcast for sports as
 "The Score," which leads us to wonder: is this what Cumulus meant
 when it said it would find a new FM simulcast for its WSKW (1160
 Skowhegan)?  More to the point, since Cumulus still hasn't closed on
 the deal transferring WSKW's former simulcast, WHQO (107.9 Skowhegan),
 to Maine Public Broadcasting, what the heck is on 107.9 now?  (Come to
 think of it, it's been too long since we've heard from our readers up
 in the Augusta area...hit those dials, folks!) >>
