4 if you count WBBR Bloomberg News Radio. All those news stations no mostly local talk station. New York could easily support a talk station like KGO.

Not in the Bay Area.
That's such a geographically spread market, a 250 watt translator even at some height wouldn't get squat in a market that stretches from Santa Rosa to Gilroy to Livermore.
Heck, even full-power SF-licensed FMs have to have boosters to serve the far East Bay.
But either a class A or a "super translator" gets you basically nothing in the Bay Area.
Look at 92.7/Alameda, which has been going hand-to-mouth its entire life.
These 250 watt monsters may get you the immediate SF/Oakland/Berkeley area, if that, or some other subset of the Bay Area market.
But since we're on the SF boards, and talking about FM news...no. It wouldn't be an option should, say, Citadel-turned-Cumulus wanted to plant KGO or KNBR on FM.
