I am sure they explored it because back then they also had KDKA and WOWO
catering to a large area.

Even WABC which back then most likely had the most listeners overnight had
to rely to a clothing store in New Jersey for the bulk of overnight billing.

I was told this 40 years ago - it was all about billable hours ( 6 AM - 6
PM )

It drove David Brudnoy crazy but the Bruins made a lot more money for
Westinghouse than he did. WBZ got the Bruins contract back in 1995 and even
with bad teams they made money.
