If I recall corectly, WKIT pickked the feed up from Premeire Radio
Networks, and I scanned the band a few times and we seemed to be the only
station covering it.

I was somewhat suprised that no clear channel sttions were covering it,
considering Premeire is owned by Clear Channel. When the "Tribute to
Heroes" concert ran, WKIT, Kiss 94.5, and WVOM were all carrying it, the
latter two being Clear Channel stations with the feed coming from
Premeire.

The levels at the beginning seemed kind of low, although after about 10
minutes I didn't detect any other problems. but that dropping out was
going on when the levels were low at the beginning, although as I said, it
stopped.
