BRW: Imus, Batchelor to WBNW 1120

Don Imus is coming back to Boston radio according to Mark at BRW. Cumulus, which syndicates
Imus, has managed to land him for 2 hours starting at 6 am on WBNW 1120 Concord. They also
will run John Batchelor 9pm to 1 am Starts tomorrow

You make it sound as if Cumulus had to plead with Armstrong to get these programs on Armstrong's stations. How do you know it wasn't Armstrong who had to plead? Given the poor signals, I think Armstrong was likely the one who had to plead.
 
I would think that WBMW-1120 has lost or will soon lose the Bloomberg Radio programming it had been broadcasting for several years to WXKS-1200, which has been LMA's from Clear Channel by Bloomberg Media.
 
I was trying 1120's signal on 128 this afternoon around Waltham, not bad, and they were running
Bloomberg programming but it may be all gone soon, maybe tomorrow etc.

And yes Armstrong may well have been the ones to try and get these shows on their stations
like 1120 and Cumulus gets to clear Boston again./
 
Still a few affiliates like WZAN 970 Portland ME which I can get over the water here on the North Shore. He does localized ads for the Portland market too.
 
I wonder when someone will finally have the courage to tell Don Imus that he's actually been dead for the last 10 years :D

These days....Imus is like something from the Twilight Zone....dead....but not aware of it. ;)

LOL.

You're right. I remember a couple months ago I was sitting in my car before work playing with the radio and came across the IMUS show on AM 1290 the all Classical Station out of West Hartford, CT (http://wcccam.com/) and I listened for a couple minutes. The show was not very interesting. What I heard was Mr. Imus mumbling incoherently and a couple other people from the show talking on top of one another.

With a good radio and if there is not too much electrical noise (computers, fluorescent lamps, etc) you should be able to get a weak but generally listenable signal during daylight hours. Most likely, however, you will have to rotate the radio to get the listenable signal. At night, unless you have a really expensive communications receiver, fuhgeddaboudit! Between the lower power, the less favorable directional pattern (compared with the day signal), and all of the interfering signals (especially first-adjacent WBBR on 1130), the probability of getting a listenable signal from WBNW on the North Shore is VERY low.
 
Here in Beverly it comes in faintly--by day--on either a car radio or my component tuner which while being next to my computer is far enough away to not get too much interference. This tuner has a rectangular-shaped AM antenna I can swivel (FM antenna is a long ribbon I have extending up to
the top curtain rod of a window).
