The 1030 in Chicago (WNVR Vernon Hills) is way worse - it's a class D, 
not a class B, and with just 125 watts into stubby little towers 
(http://gallery.bostonradio.org/2004-10/msn-oct-10/100-02448-med.html), 
it may as well not be on the air at night at all.

Oh, and it's considerably more distant from the Loop (~30 miles) than 
WAMG is from downtown Boston.

A closer equivalent might be KLAA 830 Orange, CA, which tries valiantly 
to serve LA with a very directional 20 kW night signal, but is 
unlistenable pretty much anywhere north of downtown LA after dark. The 
formats even compare - KLAA is owned by Arte Moreno, who also owns the 
Angels, and is the Anaheim team's flagship station, no less. ("LA 
Angels"? Never!)
