A number of threads have been posted around these forums that Clear Channel didn't give liberal talk a fair shake due to technical glitches, dead air, upcuts and multiple audio sources, it has continued with the switch to a more conservative programming.
A few weeks ago on Quinn and Rose, the local breakaways didn't happen, leaving the feed with the local spots and traffic for Pittsburg airing most of the morning.
For a few days within the past 2 weeks, there was an audio drop on Dave Ramsey's show.
There have been times when the network news ends followed by WW One switch tones and then a clock ticks in the background.
This afternoon during the noon news, multiple audio sources began airing. Then the audio went silent followed by the beginning of the weather forecast from WLW. Then the audio went silent againg. I gave up after about 10 minutes.
I tried calling ops/hosts on 610, WCOL and WNCI to correct the problem and alert them to the issue and got no answer.
The above are just a few of the programming issues that have cropped up since the loss of liberal talk. At least they are equal opportunity when it comes to poor technical quality.
No wonder this station is mired at the bottom of the heap. Few formats could survive. I know in the grand scheme of things, it's a throw away signal. But certain of the shows have the ability to find a niche audience and the advertisers who will support such shows and audiences. But you'll drive away both if the production values suck.
