Is this really what all you guys want or what you just see happening? Polish your crystal balls. Emmis stock is dropping daily but that is not necessarily the result of a failing company, remember that the stock holders have just as much to do with the valuation of this stock and what they want or don't want reflects on driving down the share value. Now that it's not going to be in Jeff's hands (again), the shares will rise and rebound. Just watch. What does this all mean for RXP? I think nothing. Knee jerk commentary seems to abound here.

I agree! If WINS goes to the back burner, WCBS will become NY's only all-news outlet. That could pave the way for a WCBS Newsradio simulcast on 880 AM and on an FM frequency. CBS has been very successful with this concept in SF, 50 kW blaster 740 AM and powerful 106.9 FM.
CBS Radio doesn't need to move News Radio 880 to FM as they get great ratings right where they are on AM 880. As for sister station 1010 WINS it seems 880 is taking them and not only the NY ratings. Could see 1010 air sports that 660 can't air when theirs a conflict. Only if 880 isn't airing the Yankees game this would work as we don't need both news outlets not broadcasting news.

As long as the Yankees are on 880, no sports will ever air on 1010. CBS New York always keeps one station broadcasting news in case events warrant.
As for Newsradio 880 moving to FM, remember in SF, All-News 740 was doing very well for CBS, but when classic hits KFRC-FM faltered, they decided to simulcast news on FM. It has been very successful. KCBS was always a top five station in the Bay Area, but when they started simulcasting, it went to #1.

Here in New York City CBS Radio currently doesn't have a station not performing well. Lets not even start on 92.3 Now FM. But I think if one station were to flip cause it wasn't performing how CBS Radio wanted. One of the AMs would go on FM and I would say either WFAN 660 or WCBS 880. Only thing if 880 came to FM what would the calls be as WCBS-FM wouldn't be removed off 101.1

In that case, I vote for WFAN simulcasting on 660 AM and 92.3 FM. Not unprecedented, as CBS simulcasts all-sports WXYT on 1270 AM and 97.1 FM. It's branded as 97.1 The Team and is the #1 station in Detroit.
A WFAN AM-FM simulcast would simplify baseball/football conflicts. For instance, all Mets games would simulcast on 660 and 92.3, except when Giants games overlap. It would then be Mets on 660 AM and Giants on 92.3 FM. When baseball season ends, Giants football games would simulcast on both AM and FM. Very simply, it would mean all Mets games air on 660 AM and all Giants games air on 92.3 FM.
NFL teams have long embraced FM and some simulcast with 50 kW AM blasters.
In Detroit 97.1 has the rights to all four sport teams in Detroit. Tigers, Lions, Pistions, Red Wings

Correct! WXYT uses the same formula with baseball/football conflicts as I outlined in my earlier post. If three teams are playing at the same time, WWJ picks up one event.
WFAN has four major NY market teams as well.

The AM is a farly inadequate signal, particularly at night when a lot of games play.
The bigger problem is that breaking out of the simulcast, per Arbitron rules, even for a single game does not permit the AM and FM to qualify for single line reporting, which is generally very desirable.

A radio station near Boston on 1060 is currently off-the-air, either for resale or a CP to move the transmitter. From my location 25 miles due north of Boston, at noontime, I'm getting a usable signal from WEPN after reconfiguring my radio to minimize IBOC hash from WBZ-AM 1030, Boston.
