I don't know if that's a good thing or a bad thing.  WLIB has alwyas been 
known as the premier talk station in the black community.  It also plays a 
heavy dose of Caribbean reggae/soca music evenings/overnights and 
weekends.  

I wonder if these time slots will still be unaffected and the only Air 
America material will be mid-days and early evenings.  I hope.  Would be 
sad to see the reggae music taken off the air.  It's practically the only 
remaining music station on AM in New York City.

That being said, WLIB blankets the area with 10,000 watts. Solid signal in 
most all of the city.

Appropriate call letters too!!
