RE: Political ads with phone numbers

WCRB goes to Manchester, after that Outlaw 102.3 (WOTX-Concord) begins to
pose listenability problems for 'CRB....

But any Boston station that reaches
Nashua(80,000)-Manchester(105,000)-Derry(34,000)-Salem(29,000)and adjacent
towns is grabbing about 1/4 of the entire state's population, so the value
of running an ad is there.

(Though with WRKO's signal orientation combined with its talk format, I'd
guess they'd be the best choice for NH political ad $$ on radio, among the
Boston radio media)
