Jamie said:why the hell would any station let alone AAF give up a non directional signal to go to a directional tower ESPECIALLY WITH 97.7 NOW!
Us CT residents need AAF to compete with WCCC. without AAF it gives WCCC as well as 99.3 (lazer) and 94.1 (providence) to become a little more "lazy" leading to less special weekends/special shows that stations do. Wouldn't you think so as well? I could name several things that CCC used to do when they were competing with WMRQ 104.1. It as well seems as CCC is getting a little more lazy in the last couple of months because they do not have to worry about competing as much anymore with AAF on their East side of their listening audience.
this is just my opinion so you can disagree with me feel free to discuss this
I'll copy and paste the response I made on the CT board on a similar thread you're involved in on WAAF in CT:
"There's no reason for WAAF to move further west. They're not selling Springfield or anywhere in Connecticut. Any ratings they pick up outside of Boston or Worcester are gravy.
You will NEVER see AM or FM transmitters at the summit of Wachusett Mountain. The Mass. DCR will never allow it (they limit the tower facilities for municipal, state and federal telecommunications purposes only.)"
