I definitely bummed about this move; not because I’d have to choose between D&C and Howie in the morning but because in New Hampshire there’s not much of a decision - WTKK’s signal pretty much dies north of Manchester. Perhaps if they upped their power from 22.5 to 50kW it would help. I’m hoping they simulcast through another Greater Media station that we can pick up here, but I haven’t heard anything along those lines.
I don’t think Greater Media has stations up that way
but they can find other stations...currently Howie’s
affiliates all have local morning shows. Conceivably
if they really want Howie they could pick him up live
(if the syndication continues, or should I say if
G.M. starts to syndicate him) and put their morning team
on in the afternoon. Or run him at 3 pm tape delayed.
This is still all up in the air.
Greater Media site says they have stations in Boston,
Detroit, New Jersey, and Philly. (GM site still
says WTKK has Barnicle and Imus, btw...)
