Barnicle to WBUR?

[Dan.Strassberg]

Since WCKY dropped Progressive talk, I think C;ass A WWKB must have
the largest nighttime coverage of any station that carries the format,
but other 50 kW AMs also carry Progressive talk. One is KTLK in LA.
It's not a Class A and it runs slightly less than 50 kW at night so it
has much more limited night coverage than KB does. (KTLK is also
likely to move at some point from its diplex with KTNQ because CCU,
which owns KTLK, and SBS, which owns KTNQ, can't agree on the rent.
When that happens, KTLK will have to operate with much lower night
power, and probably lower day power as well.) KPTK in Seattle is 50
kW-U but is also a Class B, although it probably has pretty good night
coverage in the Pacific Northwest. KKZN in Denver has a HUGE 50-kW
daytime signal on 760 but is only 1 kW at night. It doesn't do badly
for 1 kW at night, but it is still only 1 kW.
