19 years later, is 1210 *still* "WCAU" to you?

[ixnay]

On the Sports board of R-I I referred to 1210 as "WCAU" by mistake, then fessed up a couple of days later.

1210 ceased being "WCAU" in 1990 (I'll spare you the call and format history since then as that has been done already) and ask you, do you still tend to think (maybe speak, deliberately or otherwise) of 1210 as "WCAU" after 19 years?

I still think of WCAU as a CBS affiliate, showing my age.

Doesn't matter what 1210 is called.

The better known reputation is that it continues with the WORST 50-THOUSAND WATT signal on AM.

I've been referring to 1210 as "The Game, WGMP" for years.

oh god we all know too well who still calls 1210 WCAU


let me not get into that

There is no comparison between WCAU with its stellar news coverage and intelligent local talk and sports lineup with the syndicated one-sided scare the choir you're preaching to station on 1210 today.  Joel A. Spivak, Bruce Bradley, Gene Burns, Jack McKinney, Steve Fredericks, Maxine Schnall, Geza Sclaroff, Bill Hart, etc.  Many format tweaks over the years but always a reliable news source and talk that gave you something to think about.  I agree, I don't think about WPHT at all and listen to the Phillies on WNPV to not have to listen to the WPHT show promos (although NPV's aren't much better).

Not counting the era where they tried all medical and self-help shows.  A friend of mine sat next to someone at work who played a radio all day with WCAU's medical shows & by the end of the day he started to feel sick after listening to all these people & their symptoms!

I don't know about that, from where I am near Akron, WPHT will interfere with 50kw WHKW 1220 some nights.
