I agree, WBNC covers all the tourism related businesses well in Conway & N Conway...WEMJ barely gets out of Laconia. Laconia is not a tourist hotspot. Their signal does hit Weirs Beach well, but not the other resorts at Meredith, Wolfeboro, Moultonboro, Newfound Lake, etc. I don't see tourists flipping to AM to find out what to do when most of them will hear a bad signal. I lived in this area for 30 years and worked for WLNH, WEMJ in the past...their signal just doesn't cut it.
