more commentary from radiodiscussions...by aindik:
>>You can own 8 in Philly as long as no more than 5 are in the same band. So, they can acquire an AMer.
I’ll stick with my prediction. CBS unloads 610 to Clear Channel, exits the political talk business, and puts the Sports Network plus local play by play on 1210.
Clear Channel brings Beck, Rush, and Hannity to 610.
Clear Channel is not going to flip any of its FMers to an old skewing talk format. All 5 of them are doing well.
I agree about the FM’s.I get 610 really clear and I hope they land there.Wish this news was not true .A few months ago I heard rumor of it.
I hope not. 610 signal is pretty weak. Often it cannot be picked up inside buildings at all and it won't reach the shore. Even outdoors just 5 miles outside the city I would get a clear signal but with static on radios without an antenna.

Rush is back on WPHT 1210 AM as of October 28th. Hannity too. This is set and done.
We’re losing Beck as of right now. That’s sad.
610 AM WIP is a sports talk simulcast with what used to WYSP 94.4 FM.
