This just in!
Err America radio, who has been paying WLIB-AM for 100% of its airtime, has lost its home. They found a new station, WWRL, has a transmitter located in New Jersey and is a 25kW datytime, 5kW nighttime station. The directional antenna patterns are very tight to the Southeast to cover NYC, with a lobe to the NW towards Paterson, NJ during the day that is eliminated at night.
WLIB is 30 kW daytime and 10kW nighttime, its daytime pattern similar to WWRL's but not as tight and with a lobe to the east that gets it into Long Island. WLIB's nighttime pattern is extremely broad to the NE, E and SE.
This will mean a massive loss of listeners in the NYC area as its station is far less in power, even moreso at night, and the pattern much more restrictive.
One can only wonder how much Err America is now paying for a far weaker signal.
Any viable, self-respecting syndicated radio show does NOT pay for its carriage on local stations. Broadcasters who have to pay for thei air time are referred to derisively in the industry as "brokers". This translates into "Pay us '$xxxx' and we'll put you on the air. The fact that Err America has has to pay for its airtime in NYC is an industry laughingstock for 2 1/2 years now.
I wasn't aware that WWRL had moved its transmitter, which used to rise 150 feet over 58 street in Woodside.Another problem is that WWRL is as far down the dial as you can get and its quite difficult to acquire if you are not in line of sight of its transmitter. I'm sure we're all broken up over this development.
Yeah, you can turn on CNN, MSNBC, NYSlimes, WAPO, or any other mainstream network and be force-fed the same crap as Err America.
I guess all the limo liberals in NYC talk the talk but won't walk the walk(soros et al won't put their money where their mouth is and pick up the air america tab)
Wait...wait...I think I'm shedding a tear...no...no...sorry, false alarm...was just something in my eye...it's gone now. ;)
We interrupt this Billy Mayes "Kaboom" Special to bring you the following program.
Cable public access or public radio is the only place these bolsheviks can survive...the market has voted and only the government monopoly of force can keep them alive.
BWAHAHAHAHA
Al Franken is a Big Fat Nothing
... Air America's latest is to play the sound of recorded gunshots being "fired" at the President of the United States.
The host of something called "The Randi Rhodes Show" laughed after the gunshots ended http://www.drudgereport.com/mattabt.htm.
If they're paying for the time - is the show a political ad?
Is there no more money to steal from the widows and orphens?
sound clip did not work...pardon
"How will I get my talking points?"
You better explain that to the programs carried on WMCA like Dobson's Focus on the Family and others.
Air America can't sustain "liberal domain" stations: An inconvenient truth.
Right-wing Radio: Packleader of the Airwaves!
This is what the word "schadenfreude" was invented for.
