Why is it that the only thing companies can see the AM band is useful for is TALK? Before they screwed with it, 1170 was pumping out country heritage to a bunch of loyal fans that loved the station. The station had ratings on AM! Wouldn't it had made more sense to take that flawed FM they now have the classic country format on and just put their talk crap over there instead of messing with 1170? Kill the damn stereo pilot and it's better than AM for the blue-haired office minions that want to hear their hard-right brainwashing in their cubical. By putting classic country on FM they have told me that the format was good and shouldn't have been messed with anyway.
Could the lack of ratings this book for KFAQ be a sign that the public doesn't need two stations of talk? I honestly think the answer is, yes. Seriously, why would any market in Oklahoma need more than one of these things?
