That's right.  I had missed that.  I wonder why Clear Channel put talk on
both 1450 WRKD Rockland and 96.7 WCME Boothbay Harbor?  WCME's FM signal
should cover all the area covered by WRKD.

I am also surprised that Clear Channel does not simulcast the local morning
show from their Bangor talk station WVOM on their 107.9 // 96.7 combo in
central Maine.  I would think that the in-state morning show would draw more
people to the stations.  I guess Clear Channel is only interested in getting
their national talk shows into the market.
