I wonder how old James Brownyard used to do in the Erie, Pa., ratings with
his WHYP in the '80s? I encountered that bizarre little station on a trip
through that area in '86. He was just rambling on and on about the miserable
way the Pirates were playing. I stayed tuned for about five minutes,
figuring that I might be listening to an all-time screwup -- some poor guy
mumbling into a live mic that he had no idea was live -- then realized that
this WAS the station's format, and I tuned elsewhere. With fewer players in
the Erie market, maybe WHYP occasionally popped a 1.5 or a 2.0 there, no?
