| WMTW radio reportedly simulcast WMTW-TV's evening newscasts.  I have to
| admit that I have never listened.  WMTW news is bad audio with the video.

It's even worse than you might imagine; WMTW Radio simulcasts whatever is on
Channel 8 between 11 and 11:35 PM.  It's really funny hearing them join late
football games in progress and cut them off 35 minutes later.  They don't
even bother to change the cutoff time to 11:30 PM on weekends, so you end up
listening to the first five minutes of whatever syndicated program the TV
side is running.  WMTW Radio also simulcasts "World News Tonight;" why they
can't do that with "Nightline" is beyond me.

Take care,
Chris
