Apparently, the only change is Dee Snider is out and Bubba the Love
Sponge is in.

WCAT Orange sure sounds more powerful to me.  The audio sounds better, 
although not great, as their previous pitiful signal also had awful 
audio quality.

WCAT had a great signal much farther east on Route 2 than I have been 
able to recently receive them.  They still had a good, listenable 
signal when I reached work in Littleton this morning.

If their AM 700 signal is so good, they'd be stupid not to promote it 
along with the FM 99.9 signal.

P.S.  Anybody know what new format WMRQ Waterbury CT changed to today?  
I can't get them clearly, as WBCN Boston interferes, but they were 
supposedly stunting with a new format to be announced at 5 PM today.
