I'm sure the WZUM guys will have great things to say about this.

There isn't much to say. Clear Channel got it and we did not. We see the growth of our audio stream continues to increase so that makes us happy.

is the 970 night time signal really so bad that a 250 watt translator in Pittsburgh's hilly terrain will be much of an improvement?

I don't know what the deal is between CC and the Educational Media folks. CC picked up translators in other markets too from the sale group. In Pittsburgh, they sold two to Bob Stevens, the Froggy folks got two, and now CC picked up one.

is this new. Did Bob Stevens get more translators than the two he already has? Did Froggy get more? What were the frequencies?

No they did not get more translators. They each got two. I was reporting on Education Media getting rid of their translators in Pittsburgh and other cities.
