Fairbanks WKLB/WCLB & WCRB

[Rob Landry]

The 99.5 WCRB was not programmed by Mario Mazza, although it did hire 
most of the old WCRB staff. It trasmitted from Andover, so it had a 
significantly different coverage map than WCRB at 102.5. Nevertheless it 
scored a pretty consistent 3 share in the Boston ratings. The old WCRB had 
got as high as 4.5.
