Yes, looks like ratings don't matter to Salem and WTTT and the format
is there, as Dan
says, for ideological reasons and they can bill to a niche audience.

>>WKOXKS's current nighttime signal problems
are worse than WTTT's

Yes, some folks on their messageboard are wondering why they seem to be running
Fox Sports and some hockey. Looks like the sports talkers in Ottawa (1200) and
Binghamton (1430) are to blame...I don't regularly tune in to them at
night so I don't
know for sure, but is the cold/winter weather a factor in having these
other stations
obliterate their feeble night signals (as opposed to other times of
the year)? I drive to work in late afternoon and sometimes scan the
dial--and now that the darkness comes so early, I notice how much
stronger the
_other_ stations I mentioned come in comp. to the WKOX and WXKS signals. Is
cold weather the factor? Thanks
