If you have 10,000, why not play...10,000? I don't understand the point of telling people that a station has X thousand songs in the first place, if they only play Y hundred.

Hank Williams does not appeal to today's country demo of 18-49. It would be a tune out, and only bring in a few 65 and over geezers while the prime demos would be going barf and changing station.
And, for that 18-49 demo, there are not 2000 hits. There are 200 or 300 prime cuts and maybe another 100t o 200 filler songs. That's it.
KSJO has no real usable signal in the city of San Francisco at all. Perhaps you can get it in spotty fashion in a car, but in homes and workplaces, forget it. It is a usable South Bay signal only.
That's OK...not a whole lot of country music fans in the city. Same with NYC. The point is that this qualifies as a market clear for national agency buys.
I don't think it helps them get on spot buys, but it will give them a market presence for network buys. With something like 35 Nash stations nationwide, they have some significant bulk at this point and are likely getting some decent buys if they deliver at a good price.
I really hope Cumulus keeps the KSJO callsign, one of the historical radio stations in the SF Bay Area.

KSJO has a weak signal especially if your around Market Street and Embarcadero in SF, blocking the signal from skyscrapers. I hear KSJO fine in the Mission District.
The station reduced coverage and moved to fit old market overlap rules. Were all things the same, the new owner might file to return to the previous license values and location. But in the intervening time, I believe other stations have made moves that preclude KSJO returning to full B status... otherwise, the current owner would have done it as they were not bound by market based ownership caps that caused the station to downgrade in the past.
In any case, a 50% increase in power would not produce a huge increase in coverage... it takes quadruple the power to double coverage.
I think Cumulus is maxed out after purchasing 92.3 frequency. Now Cumulus in SF owns 4am's and 4 fm's in the bay area. (KSFO 560, KNBR 680, KGO 810, KTCT 1050, KSJO 92.3 KFFG 97.7, KFOG 104.5, and KSAN 107.7) Now they owned 8 radio stations in the bay area.
Clear Channel is trying to monoplies the market if that happens
In Canada it's allowed 3 AM's and 3 FM's

I wouldn't use the Canadian system as a good example.
I hope the FCC will keep it, 5 each a station?
The market cap varies by market size and includes AM, FM and TV but not translators and HD services.
In the largest markets, the cap is 8. Maximum 2 TV, 5 for either AM or FM (but not both, as that would be 10 station!). So if a company like CBS has 2 TV stations, they can only have 6 radio stations in a market.
I really hope Clear Channel doesn't have a monoply in big markets
