Yessir, Fybush.
Re New Jersey and NYC signals: WRNJ Hackettstown, when they were on 1000 khz, was bought by 1010 WINS so WINS could shoot a bit more daytime voltage that way.
IIrc, WRNJ then moved to 1040 originally -- I might be wrong. But if so, they probably would have done so hoping WHN/WEVD/WEPN would slide some money under the counter to buy their silence.
And along with WLNG 1600, WWRL 1600 reportedly inhaled (at some expense, of course) both WERA 1590 Plainfield NJ plus (rumor?) the already-dark rights to WQQW 1590 in Waterbury CT. Doing so would give WWRL, in the daytime, anyway, the opportunity to add some actual land, by which to help subsidize the 300,000 square miles of salt water they have to heat every day. Much seafood in their signal area comes to the market pre-cooked.

Scott : Do you remember the CP for a 1590 station in Port Chester NY? Memory here places it sometime in the early 70's. Port Chester is eerily proximate to the Bronx borough of NYC, of course. The conspiracy side of me, which surfaces occasionally, suggests that nobody in their right mind would think of putting something like that on the air in the first place. It was most likely just real estate speculation. The signal probably would've had to be fifteen feet wide through their community of license.
