Two things. a) Do we really want Cumulus running another station in town? b) The demand for talk on FM is real. I notice that WBUV out of Pensacola shows up in the ratings in Mobile regularly. It's mostly the same lineup as WNTM, but on FM. It's a weaker signal but people ARE listening.

Look what Hale is doing to Freedom 94.5, he burnt that station to the ground. We do need a full power FM talk station, the question is, will we get one?

How well do you receive news-talk WUSD-FM 93.7 Hartford, Alabama?

Not well enough to want to listen... not good enough to listen in the car but it is there if you have the right type of directional antenna or can live with a grade D signal. WFLF-FM 94.5 Panama City had a very good signal in FWB before "Freedom" came along. Panama City's 101.1 is still an option, albeit not much better than 93.7. AM is the best option in FWB for daytime talk radio at this time. |

and the sun sets, it's either Cuba or San Ant. Texas. WSB is strong, too but, they don't carry C2C, neither does WWL, their signal gets killed by Radio Reloj.

What a difference a two hour's drive makes… WWL is solid at night here in Baldwin County, AL.

WWL-AM 870 is also fairly solid at night here in Central Florida, and it's solid during the day along the Florida Gulf Coast over in the Crystal River area heading South towards Tampa Bay. WWL's reception is local for about 5-miles inland during the day, then you lose it. |

WWL also carries very well down I-10. I'd say 300-350 miles from New Orleans you still have a solid signal any day. Is there some "science" behind an AM radio station signal carrying better on the interstate than on the back roads? I've read/heard that train tracks can carry AM radio signals a very long way, but I don't know why concrete and asphalt would. I know the power lines cause problems with WWL when driving around town in Pensacola but even out in the country the signal goes south... but on I-10 it's always crisp. I live close enough to the intercoastal to pick up WWL anytime. If I go out to the beach and I can jam out to KLEB 1600 any day. I can't listen to the talk radio shows on KLEB, I don't speak French.

I think the biggest thing about the interstate is the lack of parallel power lines following the road. In some cases the interstate may be elevated above terrain which helps AM and FM alike.
