WLAC 1510

[PHIL Z]

Now that WMEX is downgrading to 10 kw day and 100 watts night can WLAC go Non Directional at Night?

Not likely. WMEX mostly protected WLAC, not the other way around. WLAC is the older station, too.

But any change would be expensive, and with the state of AM today, not productive. They don’t make any money from nights any more and locally they are still a station on a very bad high frequency that does not fully cover its market .

David, are you referring to LAC not covering this market or WMEX? I don't disagree on LAC. One attempted scan of the AM dial in Nashville scores less than a zero. There is NO need to waste the time. It is sad. I read an interesting report about the similar fate of FM if small stations continue to clutter the dial with odd formats and bad signals; larger stations continue to sound lifeless and more and more stations become similar to non-comm stations. It's just no more compelling than rotary phones tr typewriters. Not sure I want to be in radio as radio is in a decade.
