WVKO's WEB SITE IS UP...sort of

I typed in the following on a lark and it worked.  The stream is kind of distorted.

So much for SPORTS talk!  (I know...this is well-covered territory...)

I like their company name "Cowtown Communications, LLC."  How appropriate, how true.

Interesting... are they just simulcasting WCPT out of Chicago? 

I have heard the beginning of several liners for WCPT, then once you notice that it is a station in Chicago... it gets abruptly cut off and you hear a dry WVKO legal ID (Or at least their attempt at a "legal" ID)

Right now according to Gary Richards the guy who runs WVKO AM says that the station sat. uplinks should be on by the end of the week.

That would support my guess that whatever Bernard Ohio/DB Zwirn put on the air would be done "on the cheap".

They are apparently taking the internet feed directly from WCPT AM 820 in Chicago.
This morning, on the hour, I was hearing five minutes of news and local traffic for Chicago
from this station http://www.wcpt820.com/  on WVKO-AM 1580.
Also, I was hearing several liners each hour for WCPT, 820-AM in Chicago.
There was only one short ID for WVKO-AM each hour that was inserted into the internet
feed from WCPT in Chicago. You certainly get the 'feel' that you are listing to a station from Chicago right here in Columbus.
