Changes at WWZN

[Dan.Strassberg]

If bigger Boston station means 101.7, bigger is a joke, although the
likely higher FM listenership could more than make up for 101.7's
signal deficiencies. If bigger means 1200, that's also a joke, WWZN
DOES have a better signal than 1200, albeit not a whole lot better. In
theory, WWZN has a MUCH lower NIF than 1200, but that low NIF is not
realized in practice because first adjacents WWKB and WFED (both of
which are supposed to contribute to WWZN's NIF) gang up to absolutely
cream WWZN. WRKO would qualify as bigger, but why would WRKO delay a
programming move to later this summer? A non-compete with a station
that has already dropped the program wouldn't seem to add up.
