Re: 1010/1050 AM and 50kw Stations

[dan.strassberg@att.net]

States without 50-kW AMs (for purposes of the question, 
stations with 50 kW-D only--and lower power (or no 
power) at night--count as 50 kW stations)

ME, NH, VT, DE, ND, SD, KS are the ones I can think of. 
(Maybe MT too if the 1180 station in Kalispell is less 
than 50 kW-D.) New Jersey has the AM 640 (now Radio 
Disney) in (I think) Cherry Hill; it's only 900W nights, 
though. But note, thanks to superb soil conductivity, 
low dial position, and a location far from any coast, 
KFYR 550 Bismarck ND has the largest daytime 0.5 mV/m 
coverage area of any US station. KFYR runs 5 kW DA-N. 
Remember, coverage over water does not count in area 
covered; if it did, KFI would probably win.

On FM, the winner for land area covered is in New 
England--WHOM (as long as the station remains on Mt 
Washington). If coverage over water counted, the winner 
would be KPF<something--either A or K>, the Pacifica 
station in Los Angeles..

As for voiceover guys, I thought that WINS and KYW used 
the very talented Jim Cutler, who does (or used to do) 
voiceovers for WEEI. Cutler was the production manager 
for WHDH (AM) and was based in Boston. Around the time 
(or maybe before) WHDH became WEEI, Cutler went into 
business for himself and then moved his base of 
operations to New York City, but he continued (and I 
think continues) to number WEEI among his clients.
