I find this comment mystifying.  I consulted WDEA/WWMJ during the late 
80/early 90s, and even though it was in Ellsworth, 25 long miles from 
Bangor (with no expressway or high speed highway access), we always could 
find people to work.  Okay, maybe they weren't the next incarnation of Curt 
Gowdy, but they were live humans who were eager to work in radio.  The 
Cumulus comment sounds a bit disingenuous to me.
