In terms of Columbus coverage, looks pretty similar to K95.5.

I notice they both sure cover Ashville really well. Gee, I hope this doesn't jeopardize all the work Clear Channel put into giving the independent metropolis of Ashville its first service by moving 93.3 there. Seriously, I'm glad to see stations move to Columbus, but does the whole process have to be such a farcical, beauracratic charade? In some ways, the FCC is SUCH a joke -- especially in 2006 -- and Martin is doing his best to make it even more farcical by playing up the thousands of fill-in-the-blank, 2-seconds-to-submit-online indecency complaints as a huge public hue & cry for the FCC to clean up the airwaves. Get a life, Kevin...and stop the time-wasting, lawyer-supporting charades, FCC.
